Description

Photograph of the mill of the Dodge Mining Company in Mammoth City, ca.1930. The large, skeletal, wooden structure slopes from the tips of the trees on the right to the upper left foreground. The structure is wide with wood debris piled underneath the wooden pillars. A small staircase that appears to go nowhere can be seen at the bottom on the right while what appear to be large, circular pumps with levers can be seen on top of wooden pillars on the right of the structure. Grass is barely visible amongst the scatter of supplies.; Picture file card reads "The mill of the Dodge Mining Company built in 1878 at an enormous expense only to be abandoned in 1881. After idleness of fifty-three years, the mines were again open in 1934 -- but a new mill was built".
