(Fig. 29b) "Looking northwest along the strike of the Fort Duchesne vein from the Stacey Reed shaft. Almost the entire Arrowchis Lease can be seen on this picture. The fence posts in the foreground mark the southern boundary. The brush line beyond the Arrowchis shaft is where the vein passes beyond its northwest boundary. The men are ‘warming up' the gasoline hoist for the Stacey Reed shaft. Obviously, they need a hoist house."
