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.

Being the image source is of print type, the quality is not always the best, but it is what it is, I have worked with it as best as I could. This view is from the east slope of Bull Hill, looking at the Zenobia Mine with the town of Altman in the background. In the source paper this is erroneous titled as Buena Vista Mine, which threw me off years ago. Being the source is published in May 1895 this pen drawing is from sometime before that, but I do not know when.   I did procure the colored version of this image as I think it is nicer. 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.

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.

Street view from Altman, Colorado, looking west. Three boys are posing at the town Flagpole, top of Bull Hill is in the background and in the foreground at the right-hand side, we see a street sign marking the Union Market store. Further down the same side of street there are more signs, reading; Altman Bakery, Drug Store—times two. Left side of the street there are signs for; City Meat Market, Restaurant, Assaying. There is also an Assay office structure at the far end of the street, behind the small three just left of the flagpole. In the background some mine structures can be seen, the one large in left side is the Zenobia Mine with a dump extending out in front and right of the shaft house. The one just to the left of the flag pole I am not sure off as there are to many claims crossing that ground and I have not seen that structure before marked in any way, and further to the right, more into the image I am also at a loss at to what mines the structures are linked to as there are so many claims crisscrossing this hill.
