Title on Image:
Group of People Posing in Front of the Newell Tunnel, Cripple Creek District
Photographer [Date]:
Unknown
Description:
When I bought this I was not 100% certain this was linked to Cripple Creek even if it seems to be as it was stamped with Rex Investment Company on the backside, as a text above the entrance spells out to the words Newell Tunnel, and I have on my 1903 topo map a Newell Tunnel along Arequa creek in Arequa Gulch going into Grouse Hill/Mountain. But later I got it confirmed as of Nov. 12, 2017 this pic was linked to images from Cripple Creek in a September 1898 publications.
View is of nine humans, two of them being ladies, all posing in front of an Adit Portal where the letters 'NEWELL TUNNEL' is written, even if most of the tunnel word is missing in the view. A narrow-gauge track is leading into the portal with an Ore-car standing in the portal and another one laying on its side in left foreground. A Flat-car is lying upside down in foreground right, and a stack of lumber for Square-set building is laying on the ground to the left of the portal.
