Report: Unfortunately, this impressive, historical structure was being dismantled and the lumber salvaged during the visit by MBMG, in August of 1996. The 20 stamps were still in place, but were probably slated for removal. This mill was studied by DSL-AMRB (Pioneer Technical Services) in 1995; the results on p. 5-7 of their report. This is a patented claim as shown in Karlstrom, 1948.
