This is the first ever image I have seen of the Favorite Mine structures, and I saw plans for a model with drawings many years ago but never any picture, so yes, I was happy now! Being in a book from 1896 the quality is not that great, but I think it came out as good as I can expect it and we get to see how this mine has carved its spot in the forest here on Bull Hill's western slope. Image shows smaller Headframe and a house holding the hoist, boiler for that hoist based on the larger smokestack, but as that structure also has a second smokestack they had some other form of need to let smoke out, but what it was, I do not know. 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. The Favorite Mine.

      General notes:
      Map is mostly boring. Of course the Discovery Shaft is shown, a second Shaft is shown some distance north, with an Incline Shaft shown even further north in an area also inside the American Eagle No.3 claim, which may or may not be part of that claim, this map say no but things changes so who knows… And that is all.
