Page from the 1908 catalogue of S. Flory Manufacturing Co of Bangor, Pennsylvania which is new to me as a ropeway manufacturer.

It also offered an "Improved Elevated Wire Rope Tramway with Patent Carriage and Grip", for which these buckets would have been ideal.

Another view from the tarchives. I believe that this is at a mine near Pittston in Pennsylvania c1908. Quite why the mule was on the cage is unexplained.
