Granite Mine

Back

Site Features: Countless mining ruins strewn across the hillside above Granite Ghost Town, including a 20-stamp mill, an 80-stamp mill (later merged into 1 mill), and a rasied trestle for minecarts, along with the Ruby Mineshaft (fenced off and collasped into a pit above these structures)

Commodity: Silver

Year: Operated 1880-1893 (Silver Panic); 1898-1905; 1907-1932-5; Most structures destroyed by fire in 1958

Notes: Needs a revist for better images, but this is area helped start my interest in finding further mine-related locations.

Images: Housing and trestle for ore to be carried via minecart to the stamp mills and a deteriorating structure
