In 1911 two mills, the Anchor and Princess Alice, and six mining
companies were operating when this view was taken. It looks
southwest along the road that runs past the Glory Hole and
eventually to the Loch Lomond Reservoir system, built and owned by
G. J. Bancroft in the early 1900’s. The 1960 view of the Glory Hole
shows three roads at upper right: two up to Yankee and St. Mary’s
Glacier, and one off to Idaho Springs.
