| A visit to Tonopah |
 |
| The town of Tonopah. The mines started about 1905. |
 |
| Nice way to get into the mine! |
 |
| There are many different mines on this hill. This is the Desert Queen Hoist House. |
 |
| This maybe the most important house on the site. If you look close you can see that it is a 2 holer. |
 |
| This was the vault for the mines. Somebody blew the door off in the 1960's. Nothing to be found because the mines closed in the mid-20's. |
 |
| Hi Tech! This is a gas powered jack hammer. Others on the site were run by compressed air. |
 |
| The motors that run the compressors. |
 |
| The compressors that supplied the air for men and machines. |
