  As this image is used in an December 1904 article it can't be younger then November, early December 1904, but I have lot of doubts it is that young, I think it is up to at least a year older. But it is hard to tell, nothing in the view to date it from. Though, I have seen from a different source an image that is similar to this one, and that is said to be from 1903 and linked to a J.E. Stimson, which was a photographer of Cheyenne, Wyoming it seems. The dumps on those two views looks identical so I assume they are from same timeframe and possible same photographer.   The view itself is of a printed bad quality type showing several men posing on the dump in front of what is generally known as the Cripple Creek City Mine, a Head-Frame used to get down into the ground below the city, located south of the National Hotel seen in background left. Myers Avenue with its trolley line/tracks would be in the foreground, outside this view.City of Cripple Creek Mines, Miesse Shaft
