This is a cropped view from a 600-dpi scan of a printed source image of the northwest slope of Beacon Hill, hence the quality is not very good. In addition, the engraver exaggerated the structures to stand out better, but it is far better than having no image at all! The Kimberly was most likely located on the Lonaconing Lode, but might also be on the Columbus Lode or the Old Hickory Lode, as those was all owned by the Kimberly Gold Mining Company till that company consolidated into the El Paso group. Personally I have a feel this one marked Kimberly is in reality the Little May operation, but I do not know why, it is just a feel as I see on a T. R. Countryman drawn claims overview map the Little May shaft to my eyes fit better into the scene. But, as I have no proof, I keep this as it was marked on the source image. I did procure the colored version of the image. 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.Cropped View of Kimberly Mine on West Slope of Beacon Hill

      Marked as this name on one image I have of Beacon Hill mines, and is one of several lessees shafts on the property, but which one I do not know. So, for now it is just named Kimberly Mine.
