I feel like I should be starring in an infomercial.... "but wait!... there's even more *good* news..." 
Also according to the Durango Herald, the Yankee Girl is finally being stabilized by a gentleman named Chris George:
Saving the ‘Old Girl’ - Ex-Englishman makes repairs to 1880s-era mining building
The paper also ran a sidebar article that explains efforts being made to protect landscapes and structures: Group raises $15M to protect historic mine structures
