showing the contrast between the original Bonanza complex (~1912-13) and the
later one (1918 --) The ore

That is because the power no longer followed the ridge line, but instead headed
underground through one of the Bonanza adits, then was strung over to the Jumbo
claims by way of the 600-level cross-cut. The power lines also headed to
the Mother Lode by means of the 800 cross-cut tunnel. Click either image
