Alaska Road Commission

Cookman Collection #1

April 12, 1932

This late winter view shows some of the buildings of the Lucky Shot gold mine base complex in middle ground. Close examination reveals the highline cables running from the cable house up to the "workings" high on the mountainside out of sight at left. Material attached to these live cables, pulled back and forth by machinery in the cable house, supplied the mining activity. Sled tracks in the snow at left foreground, and stakes alongside, indicate an access route to the site. A rocky mountain slope forms the background. Snow covers all except the buildings.
