• This is probably Centennial No. 3 Shaft, judging from the skip road angle (its equal to that of the calumet conglomerate). Plus the houses in the background are still standing off of Amygdaloid. The waste dump to the north of the structure was leveled for the Homestake mill.

• This would have been the original Centennial Shaft way back when, not the one currently there. The one there now is much smaller and I remember reading somewhere that it was moved there when C&H reopened the shaft.
