Moose Mine (20/20 vision essential)
This view was taken from the summit of Mount Lincoln. Looking south from Mount Lincoln is Mount Bross, long famous for its great wealth of silver-bearing rocks. The small buildings near the summit on the left cover the Moose Mine, richest on the mountain. Its whole face has been plowed and furrowed over by the prospector. Across its face two lines can be traced, the upper, a wagon road that has been constructed from the valley below to the very summit of Mount Lincoln, via the low saddle which separates the two mountains. The lower line is the old "trail" that was traveled by hardy little "jacks," laden with supplies for the miners going up, and with sacks of ore going down. To the extreme left is a portion of South Park, and in the distance on the right the continuation of the range along its axis to the Buffalo Peaks. Park County, Colorado. 1873.
