Warren Sawmill on Turkey Creek in Red Cliff. Warren provided some of the mining timber for the mine at Gilman. The timber is being moved through the saw on a cart riding on tracks. The saw had an attachment used to make a special cut that allowed the mining timbers to quickly be put together in the mine. Ike Dump is closest to the camera on the right, feeding logs into the saw.

"In February of 1933 there was no snow at the John Ambos sawmill on the east rim of Rock Creek Canyon and very little anywhere in the McCoy area, for that matter.

Several unidentified individuals pose for a photograph in front of a building at Pando. Taken in August of 1912. It's possible that these individuals were employees of Benson's Sawmill, located at Pando. This is supported by the large saw blade visible to the right of the door. A dog is pictured on the right next to a gentleman holding a large jug. This photograph was developed by Schedin Studio in Leadville.
