Title on Image:
Electric Hoist at Bonanza King Mine, Gold Hill.
Photographer [Date]:
Unknown
Description:
Source of image was not in good quality sadly, but it is what it is, I have worked with it as best as I could. This view is one such example of having to work with what I have. It shows an Electric Hoist in use in the District.
The source said this is from the Bonanza King mine, located on the west slope of Gold Hill, and on which the hoisting plant shown is operated. The motor is a Westinghouse 10 horsepower machine which winds the cable on the drum of a Hendrie and Bolthoff friction hoist, raising a bucket carrying 750 pounds from the depth of about 250 feet.
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.
