            The elevated wooden scaffold at the Gold Pan Mining Company in Breckenridge, Colorado. Circa early 1900s. Far left, a sluiceway with a rubber conveyor belt moved rocks from the gold excavating pit and into an ore trolley. The trolley moved up the elevated wooden scaffold and dumped the rocks over the edge, eventually creating a massive tailings pile. The Gold Pan Mine operations nearly reached the buildings and houses on the southern edge of town. Tenmile Range in the background; the Colorado and Southern (C&S) Railway tracks are in the foreground.

A second pipe hydraulically lifted rocks, dirt, water and potential gold to the elevated trestle and sluice. Tailings were moved by conveyor belt into an ore trolley; the trolley hauled the rocks up the elevated wooden trestle and dumped them over the edge, away from the pit. In the background are houses on Ridge Street. Circa early 1900s.
