Further digging into photos looking for this Mill and adding to the general cloudiness of Clear Creek,

this view DPL dated 1884 shows a Mill of very generous proportions in this vicinity, not appearing on the Sanborn Maps until 1895 and then as the Humphrey Mill.

 

Further to this vagueness is no drawn proximity to the Colorado Central tracks that show on all other parts of the maps.  The Stone outcropping on the lower ridge behind also confirms the location but the Chamberlain Sampling Works is not present in this view.

I have a nagging feeling from all this that the Alpine/Bertha/Smith may just well be a different beast altogether, nothing correlates the other.
