The #2 shaft of the Trimountain series. Cache is set at the hoisthouse. The #2 shaft was started in the winter of 1900 and didn't hit copper till 200'. The costs of the shaft (with no profit) almost shut down the company. The hoist was a 2500 hp Nordberg direct connected duplex hoist with a 18' in diameter conical drum. NW of the hoist you can find the ruins of the rock/shaft house. It is in newer concrete, because the #2 shafthouse was rebuilt, once in 1902, again in 1923.
I started this series by driving in from 7th ave and parking here at the #2. I then walked the various roads and trails to the others. Cars can make the drive in with care.
