Nice M.A. Kleckner view of the coal schutes circa 1871.

James Belford Home?

Here's an circa 1875 - 1880 photo showing the Jail in the background.    The house in the foreground might be that of James Belford which was diagonally across from the Jail.    Notice the outbuildings and the camera (possibly) on the tripod stand.

Lumber Plane on Mt. Pisgah?

Another rare photo of old Mauch Chunk - this time looking from Mt. Pisgah over to East Mauch Chunk.    In the foreground is probably the Lumber Plane with the Packer Dam showing as well.
