Later a safety cable was added along a catwalk , which was used by employees to remove the plugs in the pipe and drain the tailings.

This stereoscopic view of Gilman, Colorado was taken around 1895 by A. E. Dickerson. Gilman proper is off to the left of this image. With the main focus being on the cliffside south of the town. What are likely mining buildings can be seen in the top left corner of the image with what appears to be waste rock coming down the cliffside towards the tracks of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad. The man in the center of image is unidentified.
