Comments:

This machine was donated to the Comstock Foundation for History and Culture's Donovan's Mill restoration project at Silver City, Nevada. It was located at the Chollar Mine in Virginia City at the time of donation. I will try and find out more about this machine's history. I am assuming that it spent most of its career working at the Comstock Lode, but I don't as yet have any facts to support my assumption.

I will also get better photo's.
