Skeletal Elevator

A sort of blender in a powder line building. The top vent had been removed, so leaves and light fall onto the teeth now.

Note that the back of Stockhouse #4 is missing. A year later, Fermentation was on the ground too.

The Columbus Mine overlooks its mill, which was one of the last to operate in the region, thanks to the demand for industrial metals during World War II.

I’m not sure, actually, whether this was an outhouse (right), but it seems likely. In any case, it was connected by a covered staircase to the Bunk House (left). The soil here was not all tailings, so there is a bit of thick grass–almost the only in sight!

Looking out from what little remains of the second floor at the poor house, which was in terrible condition. No roof and no floors. Soon to be ruins.

Inside the Beulah elevator were all of the original notices and notices. These are instructions for filling rail cars with flour sacks.

Looking toward a void–formerly a hallway to the mineshaft–now a hole in the ground.

This roof hasn’t budged under the weight of snow, instead it just filters-through the light onto the floor.

Now, to add a human scale.
