Yankee Girl Mine 2

Storm clouds rolling in on the Red Mountain Mining District and the Yankee Girl Mine.

This mine was one of the great silver and gold producers within the Red Mountain Mining District. Unlike most mines in the San Juans this was a vertical shaft mine with a "Hoist House" that housed the equipment used to lower the miners and raise ore.
