Republic's Raimund Mines

Just up the hill from the tank/pool structure, and behind the tipple are these timber bents.  Two are visible here, and a third was visible farther up the hill.

It is guessed that these supported the tramway for ore cars coming from the mine to the tipple, as there was cable on the ground.

It is assumed that the mine opening is at the far end of this tram system.   It seems odd to go "up the hill" to get to the mine slope, but that is where the ore seam outcrop is found, sloping steeply into the side of the hill.
