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 Orizaba was located on the Orizaba No. 1 Lode and is also the original, or old, main shaft of the El Paso G. M. Co. mine operations, before the company consolidated with neighbors and dug a new Main Shaft more to the left in this image, unto another claim. 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 Orizaba Mine on West Slope of Beacon Hill
