Gold Pan Mining Company operations on the Blue River, south of Breckenridge, in 1903. The Evans hydraulic elevator system forced water diverted from the Blue River and Maggie Ditch down one pipe into the Gold Pan pit, and a second pipe lifted rocks, gravel, and water to an elevated sluiceway on placer ground above. Extensive log cribbing prevents rocks and debris from falling back onto the pit crew. Note the housing above the pit on the upper right.
