This is one nicely closeup photo type of railroad link at the Dante Mine. Found on the Denver Public Library site (Call Number: X-62460). I just worked over the image to create this view, twisted and cut, colored and played around. Photo shows many men posing on the walkway above the High Line/Short Line tracks connecting the Dante Gold Mining Company's number two shaft with two Ore Bins on the downhill side of the tracks. A Colorado Midland Boxcar, No. 5538, is standing quite close to the southern end of the switch unto the mainline. 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.Dante Gold Mining Company, Shaft No. 2

    General notes:
    Map is boring, the Discovery Shaft is near the south end of the claim, with a Cut at the south end. Along the east border, about 1/5 down from north there is a Trench and almost at the north end there is a second Shaft and that is all there is to this Plat/map.
    graphic for visual presentation of text The roadbed of the High Line shall later run along the west side some distance and the Blue Bird spur shall cross the claim, none of that is drawn into the claim Plat/map though as that is too early.
