IIRC, the Lebanon Mine is on the sunny (north) side of the valley, and the Hall Tunnel higher up (i.e. closer to Silver Plume) on the shady (south) side.
I also VAGUELY remember a RUMOR that the Hall Tunnel was going to be enlarged and lengthened to provide a direct RR line under the Continental Divide to Breckenridge, but the project fell through after money dried up in the Panic of '93.
1893, that is
. . .

p.s. There was also a rumor that the troll JéBêWèX was a roomer at/in the Lebanon Mine one winter, but that may have just been a Hallowe'en tall tale. See [

et seq for further information.
