Title on Image:
Electric Hoist at Morning Glory Claim No. 4, Gold Hill, Near Anaconda

Description:
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 is the hoisting plant of the Morning Glory claim No. 4 of the Morning Glory Gold Mining company on the south slope of Gold Hill, near Anaconda. A five-horsepower motor operates a five-horsepower whim made by the F. M. Davis Iron Works company of Denver. It raises a bucket weighing 500 pounds in a shaft about 190 feet deep.
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.
