This is in Rico,Colorado. It is what they call a, "Head Frame". There is a pulley on top that has a cable running into the mine shaft below it and to the left the other end of the cable is attached to a spool that is run by a motor that lifts miners and ore out of the mine. It is called a hoist. The shack is where they empty the ore and below that is a bin they load the ore out of by dumping it in what ever they haul it away to the mill with. I worked at a Gold mine in Montana in the early 80's and this head frame looks similar to the one at that gold mine except our head frame was all steel. After 30+ years I can not remember the titles of those who operate such equipment.

I walked up the road and let them come to me but I was to obvious and they didn't know what to think. I finally turned around and walked away from them and they never ran.
