• I believe this is actually the remains of the Robbins/West Vein mine, just west of the Phoenix. There is another shot of this looking east, before the building in the foreground was removed. KF

• Confirmed. This is the Robbins/West Vein mine long after 1905. The building in the foreground burned around 1905; also notice the decaying roof and lack of tramway. KF
