A panorama of part of the town on Tonopah.
This structure is for hoisting material up from the mine, which could be 600' below.
These types of buildings are near every mine and head frame.
At one time, this was an office, now it's holding parts.
This was an interesting building - not so much from the outside......
Inside, these gears helped bring material from the mine.
The controls required someone to stand there and work them.
I like this door on the gear building.
You can see tracks on the right side of the path to this building.
These cars that brought out the "catch of the day".
This is looking straight down into part of a mine.
The Burro Tunnel is a sanitized version of a mine tunnel so that people could experience the tunnels.
This was the hoist for one of the richest mines in this area.
There were many buildings around the mine.
This one had a side window where you can see leftover parts.
Allsorts of parts and equipment are scattered around the entire complex.
This framing shop was responsible for cutting all the lumber that was necessary to run the mine.
I like this - really just a hole in the ground, it was used to store dynamite and other equipment.
This was a blower that just happened to be somewhere on the property. It looks like it's in pretty good shape.
I spent a couple of hours roaming around the area, and I still didn't see everything, it's a massive area to cover.
