Tonopah Historic Mining Park

The Tonopah Historic Mining Park is a huge mining complex in Tonopah, Nevada. If you enjoy mining history and do not mind a little walking, you can spend hours here looking at old buildings, equipment and mines...

Desert Queen Mine

These "stopes" were hundreds of feet deep

I was surprised at all of the tools laying inside this shop unattended

Later development of the Mitzpah Mine brought electricity to the site

The belts went outside to raise & lower items into the mine 600 feet down
