Another collapsed adit. The face of this ridge appears to be quite
unstable. |
 |
This trestle rests just above the ore hopper. Mine cars would have
been pushed to the end of the trestle and dumped into the hopper. |
 |
The hopper stands majestically on the side of the ridge. |
 |
The hopper held the ore so it could be loaded into wagons for
transport to the mill. |
 |
The ore chute is still in pretty good condition. |
 |
The hopper had two loading chutes. |
 |
There are still vast open spaces in this part of Nevada. |

This road heads eastward up into the mountains. My maps show that
there are more portals in the area. I'm looking for a return exploration
trip. |
