About this build

The silver mine a frontier town grew up for, cut into a rocky hill with veins of ore in its rock. Its adit runs into the hillside behind a portal of squared timbers, with sets of timbers and lamps every few blocks inside and the ore face and a chest at its end; rails come out of it over the ledge and across a trestle of logs to the ore bin. Below it the stamp mill steps down the slope in three sheds of weathered boards with shed roofs: the crusher at the top with its ore and blast furnace, the battery of stamps on their stems under the cam shaft in the middle, its big flywheel outside, and the tables at the bottom where copper plates caught the silver, with the settling tanks. Stairs inside lead from each shed up to the next, and a door from the top one opens onto a terrace with the headframe over the shaft, its sheave wheel high on its timbers, and the hoist house with its engine and drum. At the foot of the hill stand the boiler house of brick with its furnaces and its tall stack, the office with a porch, and the powder magazine of stone, well away from everything; the waste dump spills down the hill beside the ledge.
