Fast moving storm across the San Luis Valley, Colorado. At the right side of the frame you can see the edge of the Great Sand Dunes National Park. It was raining on me, and you can see feint streaks of light (rain) against the darker areas of the image.

Many years ago, I set out to recreate the famous 1870 William Henry Jackson photograph of South Pass City, Wyoming. My modern image is the top. The bottom left is the original Jackson, and on the right is AI enhancement of the original. South Pass is now a state managed historical site, but is still a true ghost town.

The Duncan Mine, Atlantic City, Wyoming was established in 1868, and no records of gold production exist. The Beck Mining Company which was active in the 1910-1930's in the Atlantic City area reactivated the mine, but ceased production in 1932. William Boulette who worked at the mine is recorded in Wyoming Archive Oral Histories, that he worked there. A man named Swenson took the last bullion produced to Denver, never returned and the men never got paid. The mine was assayed in 1955 and MRDS entry lists “Production Year: 1955” with assay data showing 6.34 oz/ton Au and 0.08 oz/ton Ag for sampled material. The mine (approx 250 feet deep with several drifts and stopes) was capped by the AML (Abandoned Mine Land) to mitigate injury.

This is what remains of the B&H/Empire Gold Mine in the Sweetwater Mining District. In 2012 contractors placed timbers over the open 110 foot deep vertical shaft to prevent injury. The headstock structure is down, though you can see the remains of the cabin . Compare to the earlier image of the mine in 1956 that I posted.

I love old maps. This shows the end of the railroad line at Lander, Wyoming where I lived back in the late 1970's. This diagrams the postal mail routes from 1910 to Dallas, WY and on to Atlantic City and South Pass City at elevations above 7,000ft. The carriers had to bid for a government contract, and the US was obligated to accept the lowest bidder. The contractor on this "Star Route" usually used a light enclosed coach on rough dirt roads and snow. This is the 35 mile route Sara Gillespie drove for at least 18 months as reported in the Wyoming State Journal in March 1918. That was one tough lady, at age 37.

The B&H mine, later named the Empire Mine, located between Atlantic City and South Pass City, produced between 500-800 ounces of gold. This image was a badly damaged slide from the Library of Congress taken in 1956. I restored using Lightroom and Photoshop. We have great tools now restore images.
