Kennedy Mine - III

Here you can see the bones of the building that housed the stamp mills and, just barely there in the distance, the building that houses the #4 lifting wheel. The smokey air obscures much still after over a month of fires.

Kennedy Mine - II

The stamp mills were located behind the head frame and connected by a short elevated rail line. The stamp mills, as was the case also at the Empire mine, were driven by cam shafts as seen above.

As we run up and down hwy 49 through Jackson, we have passed the Kennedy mine repeatedly. You may recall the post about the tailing wheels where the mine was forced to deal with the waste from the mine. Today we finally sorted out the schedule covid has forced on the mine and stopped by for a visit.

Above is the boiler that ran the cable hoist (among other things) for getting in and out of the mine.
