This is a cropped view from a 600-dpi scan of a printed source image of the northwest slope of Beacon Hill, hence the quality is not very good. In addition, the engraver exaggerated the structures to stand out better, but it is far better than having no image at all! The Rocky Mountain was located on the Rocky Mountain Lode and from this poorly image here it looks to have been an operation with at least a small Shaft House structure on it. A little complication from looking at the lode Plat Map as that has no shafts and only a Tunnel marked on the claim, but this image seems to indicate more like a shaft-house, so maybe I in the future will learn more and better understand this image. I did procure the colored version of the image. Source was gray-toned, or in common speech black & white. Used an online service and tweaked and worked with image to get what looks best to my eyes for the moment.Cropped View of Rocky Mountain Mine on West Slope of Beacon Hill

      General notes:
      Original Plat Map has the Discovery Tunnel about 1/3 into the claim from the southwest short edge-line, while there were 3-Shafts in a group about 1/3 further into the claim. That group is lost on the Amended map, dividing the claim into two pieces. The one image I have marked with being the Rocky Mtn Mine, I do not know where on the claim that structure is located, as my 1903 USGS topo-map has no tunnels marked out where the Rocky Mtn Mine is marked to be located.
