• This would be the C&H line that went to the Red Jacket shaft. We are looking back towards the C&H Calumet yard. I believe the boiler house visible in the background is the Frontenac boiler house. Hecla mine shafts on either side

• Hecla #3 would be to the left of the boiler house, farther to the left the big long building is the machine shop with Hecla #2 to the left of that.
