Sharp Eyed Persons Quiz

OK who's up for placing this location?  Photo from the DPL, linked after the correct guess.

[Doug Heitkamp]

Changing my guess - Blackhawk?

[Chris Walker]

Oi, One post per person eh, no edits :) Ya still wrong, Doug.
Once the location is guessed by say township given the smalltime nature of the C&S then there needs to be a narrowing down to name of the building or milepost adjacent to or to a landmark feature very closeby.

Chris you must be the master of  "where is it" --appreciate you challenge, but I'm a bit out of water on some of the C&S locations.  This will be interesting to see where it is!  Just for fun I do think that is the Arkansas River though.

No luck so far huh....If I told you this Mill will be partially rebuilt and supplied by a two-foot railway line as well would that help?

The photos have not been published  either :)

[Bill Uffelman]

It is on Clear  Creek above the depot.

Bill is correct so far, on Clear Creek above the Depot....

[Bill Uffelman]

All my reference materials are in storage but it is further up the creek than the original stone mill/sampling works in the area where the Gilpin Tram came down to the grade and the C&S ended.

Bill, going cold not the Gilpin....but on Clear Creek above the Depot getting warmer.

Anyone else?

[Bill Uffelman]

I know it wasn't on the Gilpin just trying to locate geographically. Hard to do with no photos or maps at hand.

I'm giving this away I think.... :)

Here's the later incarnation...

[Keith Hayes]

Golden?

The water body looks too large to be Black Hawk.

My back up is Idaho Springs.

[Chris Walker]

Care to narrow that down or do I just put give it up?

[Bill Uffelman]

I am out of ideas -- I can only see the location in my mind's eye as I have no reference materials here. I believe it shows in the background of a photo looking up the creek but at 67.5 my mind is getting foggier!

This scene was not modelled by the great Harry Brunk.  

Any further goes at this ?

[Derrell Poole]

I can't tell... is that a settling pond in the background or is this near a confluence? Or is this in the bend of the waterway?

[Chris Walker]

Derrell, yes this is a bend in the waterway and yes there is a confluence, but no on a settling pond.

[Chris Walker]

And another clue is to a recent C&Sn3 Blog post being taken exactly opposite this Mill.

[Derrell Poole]

Well. Your photos do not fit Blackhawk to me. Doug's "recent" post (last Oct.) of the box cars at Idaho Srings pointed to Mr. Walker poking around a lot in Idaho Springs at DPL. I believe this cropping came from MCC-1256 (iirc). This is on Clear Creek near the confluence of Chicago Creek. Hidden behind the crest of the hill before us is the pond and dam which I think shows up in your second photo upper right. I also noted the ridge board on the roof of one of the buildings in this photo on a like building in yours. Several things were stumpers; RR spurs coming thru the buildings too much water in the photo for Black Hawk are two examples.

I think this is the Idaho Springs Concentrate and Sample works.
