Morning Glory Shaft of the Doctor-Jack Pot.
Andrew James Harlan
This view is showing the Morning Glory mine up close. It was titled Doctor-Jack Pot Estate in a copy I have from a January 25, 1912 printed source – hence the date on this view can't be from after that date. Middle top you see the orehouse and hoist house of the Index Mine, while the small shaft house of the Union Bell is seen about half width towards the right-hand side, just above ad slightly to the left of the two smokestacks. Also seen, the side spur to the Index are climbing the hillside, and somewhat further down the railroad fill seen belongs mainline named the Low Line, sort of cutting through the upper part of the Morning Glory smokestacks, as the mine in the foreground are named.
I did procure the colored version of this image, as I think it makes a nicer/better view. Source is 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.

Along the Cripple Creek Short Line 1916 - A View Back Towards the Mary McKinney Mine in Anaconda
Unknown [1916]
This is a nice but sadly unsharp view back along the Midland Terminal tracks on the north slope of Guyot Hill, having just passed the Mary McKinney mine sometime in 1916 as the set this negative is from was dated that year. Sadly the image is not sharp so details is hard to get from it, but it clearly is better than having no view at all of this mine structures which this angle has not been seen before!
Gold Hill is seen in left background while Raven Hill is on the right background, making Ironclad and Bull Hill the ones in the middle background.
I did procure the colored version of this image. Source was gray-toned, or in common speech black & white, and being a negative, I had better hope for the quality then what I got. Used an online service and tweaked and worked with image to get what looks best to my eyes for the moment still though.

#C-27; Mary McKinney Mine Cripple Creek Colo. {crop Edition3}
Young
This is the third crop edition of this photograph by Young, not sure if the source image is of better quality, but this postcard is not the best and the 1200dpi resolution scan kinda shows it as nothing is really sharp.
  I dare not date this view, but think it might be from the 1940's, the dumps around the Mary McKinney are huge and that massive crib-wall that used to stand along the road – both who been gone for a few years now when this is written in July 2018…

Anaconda, Colorado, the Centre of the Cripple Creek Gold Mining District. [Copyright 1901 by R.Y. Young]
R.Y. Young (?) [189?]
Card has a bad curve to it making it a little bit hard to scan as it will not lay flat. Also, while this image is copyrighted 1901, it can't be photographed that year as there are no sign of the Low Line grade which was built in 1900, but an email friend told me that the F. &. C.C. Boxcars and the 4-6-0 locomotive was starting to get delivered from April 1899, hence this view has a narrow timeframe to it, but it still is not a 1901 image, more summer 1899 possible. One of the most compelling evidences to me for it not being a 1901 or even a 1900 age image is the fact there is just no signs of the Mary McKinney crib-wall along the F. & C.C. roadbed. The one that is in this view is further up, closer to the mine itself. Comparing that to an image (DB-ID#145) I have from a different angle showing the Low Line roadbed without tracks on it, dating that one to 1900 as that is the year the Low Line was built (By September 1900 rails had reached Victor), where there is indeed the Cribbing further downhill along the railroad grade, I must date this to be at some unknown time before that time, and I would think Summer 1899 is a good date to have as a base-line.
The most prominent mine seen here is the Mary McKinney, just uphill from the F. & C.C. train seen about middle of view. Town of Anaconda is partly seen at bottom of view, while Raven Hill makes up the background with several mines seen. From an early Morning Glory mine, seen about 1/3 down on the image part and just right from the left-hand side of the image part, to structures belonging to the Jack Pot, the Doctor and the Ingham mines, plus several other shaft structures of the Work Company. Sadly, view is not the sharpest and best around so details are not easy to get out.
