What are likely mining buildings can be seen in the top left corner of the image with what appears to be waste rock coming down the cliffside towards the tracks of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad. The man in the center of image is unidentified.

This stereoscopic view of Red Cliff, Colorado (facing southeast) was taken by William Henry Jackson some time in the late 1800s. It's likely this image is from before 1883, since the caption states that the image is of Red Cliff, Summit County, Colorado. Red Cliff was a part of Summit County for a few years before 1883. In 1883, Eagle County was formed and Red Cliff became the county seat.
