Nice images. It's good that you're making a record of this place so people will be aware of the tremendous waste that is a legacy of the mining industry. There's tons of wreckage like this here in Colorado that the mining companies were able legally to just walk away from. It's all part of federal mining law and the classification of many minerals as munitions rather than regular mineral output. I have never understood how people can view this stuff as picturesque. But it's good work.
