Forest Queen Mine Windlass, Ore House, and Headframe nr. Victor, Colorado, September 29, 2024
The Forest Queen Mine infrastructure seen here is located at Victor, Colorado, just a few miles from Cripple Creek, and represents well preserved remnants of the early mining industry in the mountains west of Colorado Springs. In the case of this mining site, it operated “circa 1913,” according to the historical marker. Pictured in the foreground is a motorized windlass, in the middle foreground an “orehouse,” and in the distance on the hill a headframe. Across the county road from this mining site is the massive Newmont Mining Corporation gold mine, formally known as the Cripple Creek and Victor Gold Mine, first established in 1892. As is said, “There’s gold in them thar hills!”….and it’s true in Victor!
This vertical image of the Forest Queen Mine infrastructure was made on Kodak film using a 5×7 Linhof Technika with a 120mm f8 Nikkor SW wide angle lens. With the extreme depth of field of this lens, everything from the nearby windlass to the headframe in the distance is razor sharp.
