This is a wonderful scene by Mr. Harlan and colored by him or someone working for him. I can get better coloring in our modern day on sharp good photographs, using AI-technology, but this is a original photograph, from around 1899 capturing the feel on northeastern slope of Bull Hill or Bull Cliff, not sure how to define what this area should be named as. In the foreground is the mainline of the 3-foot Golden Circle circling the hillside going towards its end-loop at Vista Grande which is sort of straight ahead through that hill in background left-hand side. The mine in the foreground is the Lee Shaft of the Isabella company, the main shaft for time being of this photo, with a railroad spur down to both its power-house and more important, down to the Ore-House and working towards but not yet have reached the Buena Vista Mine which is seen about 1/3 in from right-hand side and same from top side.

This view is dated 1934 by whoever wrote the title on the backside of the image, where it is also stamped with the name of the photographer. I think the man stood at the Buena Vista dump/mine, on the north slope of Bull Hill, with Bull Cliffs visible in right background, and by pointing his camera southeast got this view with the headframe of the Isabella Mine's Lee Shaft, and its Ore-bin to the left, where there also is a side-spur in a switchback type of run down from the old Golden Circle mainline, but by now standard gauged by the Midland Terminal. First leg of the switchback is seen behind the headframe, and going down from right to left, and then the lower leg of it can be seen coming down a curve about center of view right/left and a little above middle top/down, where it goes down to the Ore-bin seen left of the Headframe. In the background is seen what is left of the Victor Mine, a dump and a crib-wall is seen along the skyline just up from the Lee shaft ore-bin, the old mainline of the Golden Circle used to run on the right-and side of that cribbing.
