I've enhanced the photo somewhat as it had faded some, and I count myself lucky that I was able to get hold of this one, even if it was one of the more expensive ones sadly. Sadly, also it is not dated, but it is an early view from Squaw Gulch, possible around 1894 but not sure. * The structure is the Sylvanite, or also later known as the Hartzell Mill; or even Hartsell Mill I've seen it named as. It would in its lifespan grow to be longer towards the left in this view, and they must have had its believes in this mill as it worked some years. * In background right, about 1/3 up from bottom, and about 1/10 in from right-hand side, behind the dump seen there, is some darker shades, that is the Blue Bell Tunnel Mine, an early hopeful mine that never really become anything…Sylvanite Mill Anaconda Colo. Cripple Creek Dist.
