Latham (Kille) Mine

Mill foundations.

The mine shafts in this area are extremely dangerous due to rotting timbers from extensive moisture in the ground. This mine shaft has a steel cage security door blocking further entry - about 20-30 feet in from the entrance

Blacksmith shop?

I believe this is the explosives storage bunker.

Trying out my new pantry/table and refrigerator set-up. They worked really well.

This snowdrift blocked the road above the Monarch Mine in early June. I returned in late August to explore more, and I still probably need one more trip (in 2012) to see all that there is to see here.
