I assume this Cameron Mine is the same Cameron mine that I have read was controlled by the Woods Investment Co. in 1901 and which property the Cameron Gold Mines, Inc., produced from 1935 through June 1942, when operations ceased. Golden Cycle acquired the property in 1944, and although intermittently operated through the late 1940's, it became a principal shipper for Golden Cycle. Image shows a postcard that has a stamp-box mark that fits the 1926 till 1940 timeframe so 1930's fits, not being an automobile person though, the cars don't help me date anything. I think this view is looking north, northwest, with part of Galena Hill at left.Cameron Mine & Mill

This enhanced view of my 300dpi scan of the source postcard shows some of the surface structures at the Cameron Mine, where 5 men are posing for the photographer, standing in front of a Head-Frame, with the Hoist-House and shed type of structure in background left and a chute down from the Head-Frame in front right. I've seen a marked postcard with the same head-frame and hoist-house look as here, hence the strong feel this being the Cameron Mine, located in Cameron/Grassy Valley in the District.Group of Unknown Miners Posing at the Headframe of the Cameron Mine
