Earache Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 Check out this old ore crusher. Looks like train wheels in a circular track - they dumped rocks into the track and the turning wheels crushed them. Power by a steam engine via a big assed pulley belt and a right angle drive... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 A hammer mill that also crushed ore. Had to be loud as shit when in operation.... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 Another mine across the valley that I've never been to as there's no road to it. My fat ass isn't gonna hike up the hill to see it, either. So you'll have to settle for a long range shot... 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 Old office next to the Coeur mine. Door was locked and I saw no easy way in, so I stayed out. Diggin' the tin roof! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume one was a storage area and the other may have been a summer kitchen, etc. Same construction as the house that I posted in my "Then and Now " thread. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I'd say that about 65% of the buildings in our town are just like this - empty and falling apart. Just not enough money to save them all. It'd be nice if they could. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
