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 view shows the hoisting machinery on Arapahoe No. 1 claim of the Castleman & Raine lease on the east slope of Ironclad Hill. The motor is a five horse-power machine operating a geared hoist supplied by the Denver Engineering Works. A bucket having a capacity of 500 pounds is lowered to a depth of about 190 feet by a five-eighths inch cable. But there are no Arapahoe No. 1 lode here, only an Arapahoe lode! Owned by the Jerry Johnson Co. around the timeframe of the source, and their Jerry Johnson No. 1 lode is sort of an extension of the Arapahoe lode in southeast direction, so possible this lease had a shaft at the border of those two mentioned claims? There is a shaft marked almost at the border to the Arapahoe on the Jerry Johnson No. 1 on their Amended Plat Map of June 20, 1899, and on their original Plat Map much of the Arapahoe ground is also claimed by the Jerry Johnson. Making it also plausible that the shaft was on Arapahoe ground, in the area where both claims overlap. 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.
