Supply warehouse at Belden. Supplies came by rail through the Eagle River canyon and went into this warehouse. Robert E. Riggle worked here.
79) Zinc dryer
Format:
Image
The dryer building for zinc is at the far right. The zinc slurry would be heated and dried, leaving a very fine zinc powder. The powder was shipped in sealed box cars as it was so fine it would blow away in an open car. The rail line for shipping runs through the Eagle River Canyon (Belden area) so the final products for shipping were finished at this level.
