Rick Otis > Keane Wonder Mine site. Bottom of the gravity-powered tramway for bringing ore from the mine at the top of the cable system. The ore was processed here at the bottom in the Keane Wonder Mill. For a history of the mine, see: http://digital-desert.com/death-valley-history/keane-wonder-mine.html.
