On the mule trail to the San Juan Mines, where the overhead
tram replaced the deadly mule trail in 1894. Timbers lay about, see the one
behind us.

Some of the 2.5 mile wire rope that brought the ore down
4,000 feet in elevation from the mines to the railroad.

One of the ore buckets from the wire rope tram. Mining all
but stopped by the revolution of 1911.
