When photographed in the mid-1980s, this mine shack was still standing on the east side of New York Mountain, above New York Lake and the timberline. The building was made of milled wood. In recent years, the structure has collapsed.
With Battle Mountain in the background, the shaft house of the main entrance to the Gilman mine on Highway 24 is at midground. The waste dump from the mine is below the shaft house with the Rock Creek settlement to the left of the dump.
