So nfh?

Anybody know Rather There was Very much Gold Or Silver Extracted In That Area?

Mostly a bust from what I have read.

It's a nice drive though. Lot of the buildings are still in place. Mine shafts have been blown in. Lot of pyrite around
 
It is a high volume air compressor use to send fresh air deep into a mine. Also used for air drilling of water or oil wells. The air would bring the bit cuttings to the surface.

The big wheel is a “bull wheel” that used a canvas or rubber belt to connect to a power source.

The size of the belt pulley on the power source would determine the volume of air put out by the compressor.
