This is a hidden text,
acting just like a spacer
type of text in order to
push the Entity info
down on the page. Sorry to have wasted your time/ear to listen to this, I was just trying to get a layout work like I wanted.
This page has a total of 3 images, as of 17.04.2024 (11:36:32).
Most Recent added/changed image is on top.
Source of image was not in good quality sadly, but it is what it is, I have worked with it as best as I could. This view is one such example of having to work with what I have. It shows an Electric Hoist in use in the District.
   The source said this illustrates the hoisting plant on the Wisconsin claim of the Portland Gold Mining company. The motor is a Westinghouse 15 horsepower machine. It raises an 875-pound bucket on a geared hoist made by the F. M. Davis Iron Works company of Denver at a speed of about 350 feet per minute.
   I did procure the colored version of this image as I think it is nicer. Source is 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.

Only info I have about this image is that it is showing a Westinghouse type ''C'' induction motor used to run a hoist at an unknown underground level of the Wisconsin Mine on Battle Mountain.

This is not a photo per say, more like a line drawing of people posing at the head frame of the Wisconsin on north Battle Mountain, possible also known as Shaft 3 of the Portland Mine. Background would be looking towards east.
