Description

This winter view shows some of the buildings in middle ground associated with the Lucky Shot gold mine. Careful examination of the upper part of the image reveals the skyline cables that run from the cable house at far left up to the "workings" high on the mountainside. Also notable are the piles of logs in the foreground, likely to be installed as support timbers inside the mine tunnels. While the ground and background mountains are covered with snow, the buildings are remarkably clear.
