This large mine was once located near base of Guyot Hill in the outskirts of the town of Anaconda, with the F. & C.C. tracks passing below the mine but with a spur leading up to ore bins where you see 3 boxcars located beside the shaft house in this image. The M.T. was also connected to this mine, making it 3 rails track just beside the mine structure. You can see the narrow gauge F. & C.C. tracks disappearing behind the mine just below the roadbed of the M.T. heading towards Victor. This spur was in 1917 converted into standard gauge which allowed the M.T. access to the El Paso Mine on Beacon Hill.
