Beyond any possibility of restoration, the last vestige of the Pennsylvania Mine processing mill’s north wall with its discharge chutes barely stands, awaiting almost certain collapse in the next few years. High on the hillside above the mill the ore tipple awaits the same fate. Primitive machinery dots the site of the processing mill where ore was brought down from the mine, crushed and separated from the metals therein–silver, lead, gold, zinc, and copper. Water from nearby Peru Creek was needed for the separation process. To this day, Peru Creek runs milky white, evidence of the destructive and long-lasting effects of mining activity before environmental impact was regulated. Taken with a Sony RX10 Mark IV DSLR camera at 24mm effective focal length.
