Colorado Narrow Gauge book for free

Wow! Nice find WReeder! Awesome stuff. I would love to get originals of some of those photos and see if they could be processed better with today's technology. Someday I would also like to tour one of those big mines, I have always been curious what was inside all those levels on those buildings. Great catch and thanks for posting it!

Many of the books I have about the railroads in Colorado use images from the Denver Library Image Collection.

The author also wrote Silver San Juan which is one of the nicest books on the RGS. Maybe some day it will be available.

This YouTube channel gives you a good look at the mines as they are today.
