Frank Dean photo taken of the entrance to the Book Cliff Mines."The entrance to the Book Cliff Mine, circa 1915, showing the friction brake system used to lower loaded cars over the tramway to the tipple. The weight of the loaded cars going down would pull the returning empties back to the mine adit. A section of four-rail track allowed the cars to pass each other in transit." ***see publication history
