Winning the Metal: Ore Mills of the West

The earliest, and simplest method of crushing ore was the use of arrastras. When enough capital was available, stamp mills replaced arrastras at most mines. The following sections take a look at various types of stamp mills, the most common milling facilities at mines of the frontier West. The Trench mill at Silver City, Nevada 1877.
