It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. (Sherlock Holmes - A Scandal in Bohemia.)
RE: Old Equipment
I love the old mining history. It's very interesting. The folks that live near the old mine, near Colima, Mexico I believe, want to know more about the history. Any other comments would be appreciated.
Thanks

A stamping mill is a stand alone piece of equipment that can be engine driven or water wheel - or electric motor driven (but not in the early days of mining.)
