Sadly my panoramic postcard has many flaws to it, it has been bended in its lifetime and also have dents and cracks in addition to being partly faded and using a photo print process making darker spots just dark! But it is what it is! I have worked with it as best as I could. This view is of the southeastern slope of Bull Hill. In foreground lower right is barely seen some of the houses in the town of Goldfield, while the La Bella Power Plant structure with its smokestack is at lower left. Many of the mines are marked out, and I've seen this view being used to demonstrate the wonders of the Parkison Furnace that was used by many mines in the District. Seen as absence of smoke from the smokestacks of the properties using those furnaces. 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.

Image is quite faded, but I was able to enhance it quite OK, and I can make out anything in it I think. The image has two markings on it, left most X marks what is noted on the side of the photo the "New Store" while the right most X marks the "Old Store" of someone in Altman by the time this photo was taken. Also Pikes Peak is marked, and on the backside of the photo it says ''From A.J. Harlan, Photo' Co., Victor, - Colo.'' * Old Pharmacist Mine is seen at far left with a triangular peaked Cupola and a longish narrow structure as a Shaft House, said to be an Incline type of shaft. Quite an extensive dump spread out east of the structure. The Shed poking out towards the photographer is per Sanborn Fire Insurance map of 1900 (Sheet 14, Victor set) for the Blacksmith. The dump in foreground obscuring the west end of the shaft house is part of the Zenobia dump. * Beyond the Pharmacist, into the image just at right, is the Burns Mine with part of a head frame poking up from the roof. What is in the image is not fully fitting the 1900 Sanborn map, but that mine was not included in the 1896 maps and the 1908 edition shows a different look altogether. * A rectangular shaped structure and marked with a cross is seen further right, a church in Altman, also seen on the 1908 Sanborn map, marked as R.C. Church, not used by then. * The structure that was later to hold the Geo. McMillan Grocery Shop marked out in other photo's with an extension not seen in this photo is located at southwest end of the main-street of Altman, or far-right in this cropped view. I did procure the colored version of this image, if that is what you see. 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.

While not the best quality, I have seen way worse views before. Quite a nice view of one of the two Shaft Houses of the Pharmacist Mining Co. Think this is the newer, main shaft, a vertical shaft while the original seems to have been an incline type. Located north of the original shaft, and seen in a few views marked on the side, that is the left side on this view, as The Marie Mining Co. Or as it says on the 1900 Sanborn Fire Insurance map; The Marie Gold Mining Co. On the Sanborn of 1908 it is marked as Marie Mine, and as being closed. This indicates this view to be dated to be from around 1898-1906, as it does not show up on the 1896 Sanborn map. I did procure the colored version of this image. Source was grey-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.

Quite a nice very early view of east side of Bull Hill with some of its mines and the early start of the town of Altman, here called 'Pharmacist Town,' while Bull Hill is called Bull Mountain. Taken April 20, 1893 it feels like a treasure to have, flaws and all! Near left-hand side the early Shaft house of the Hidden Treasure Mine is seen, while further downhill, the Zenobia, Pharmacist and Burns Shaft houses are marked out, thankfully. There are more mines, but they are not marked out. I did procure the colored version of this image. Source was grayish, or in common speech black & white. Used an online service and tweaked and worked with image to get what looks best to my eyes at the moment. Source had flaws, somewhat faded, ridges on the photo itself, and it was impossible to bring forward the Pikes Peak Range, but in the end, I worked over it as best as I could.

This sadly badly printed type of postcard is interesting due to several factors, for instance it is based on a great shot of Altman Town and street layout, and the mines around it. * Shaft house of the Pharmacist Mine, also known as the Marie Mining Co., is seen near lower left corner. * Just passed the upper portion of the Shaft House of the Pharmacist is the location of the Burns Mine, the Shaft House can be picked out on my 600dpi scan and is located just below the center top/down of the image part, and just left of the sideway center. * The Pinto Mine is harder to pick out due to the printed quality of this card, but it is located about 1/3 in from left-hand side of the image part, and just above the top/down centerline.
