Comments:
This machine was viewed at an abandoned mining site at the end of Clark Canyon Road on the west slope of Mt. Charleston in Nye County NV. The belt assembly is incomplete and had been removed and relocated adjacent to the boiler. The machinery is within an enclosed area; the chain link and gate have been vandalized, and it seems likely that some of the machinery parts have been carried off by collectors or thieves long ago.
