View of the Portland, Bobtail, and Black Diamond mines in the Cripple Creek Mining District, Victor, Teller County, Colorado. A large mound of mine dumps and tailing stands next to the slant roofed metal building of the Black Diamond mine. Three wooden trestle rail bridges stand between the Portland and Black Diamond mines. Various utility buildings stand between the Portland mine and a mine building that is under construction, including a building which reads "warehouse." The Bobtail mine stands behind a mound of tailings, uphill from two smaller buildings with gable roofs and metal stovepipes. One roof reads "-.G.M.Co [of]fice."
