Subjects include the Elkton Mine at Raven Hill; log homes in the town of Cripple Creek; two photographs of mines in Poverty Gulch, east of Cripple Creek; a handsome image of men sorting ore; a photo of the U.S. Indian International School float in the Colorado Springs Parade; a parade float for Victor, Colorado; the parade passing the Hotel Brunswick; an electric tram in Colorado Springs; wagons on the road to Cripple Creek; and an unidentified steamboat. A nice group of images.
