I don't have any info on this place but all I know I've passed it for yrs and finally got tired of that so I stopped one day - but did find out that it's on Alvarado Rd which I thought was still Stanley Rd in this area - up from Stanley Rd - So my question is was there a mining town called Alvarado and is this a combination of 2 names - Al n Colorado????

Eureka is a museum of mining history. Situated on highway 50 about halfway between Austin and Ely, few other towns offer as much to the curious visitor as does Eureka. The year 1864 saw the discovery of lead-silver deposits as spectacular as any in the country. But there was a problem. Bi-metallic ore required refining methods and techniques not yet developed. The first plant built in 1869 was a failure. Another was built that was more successful and was the forerunner of even more advanced methods. The boom then began in earnest and continued until there were nearly 10,000 people in the town. About the time production began to decline, a railroad was brought into Eureka. Because of the town's central location in the state, it became a railhead for the whole area.

On your way along Victoria Highway you will see some mining facilities, more or less the only feature around you here. Kununurra is close now, so keep calm, you nearly made it.

GHH mining machine underground shovel, when they were introduced in the Monteponi mine, helped to make the work lighter and faster. He wouldn't mind seeing it displayed in a protected area and not exposed to the elements. A machine created to work indoors that ends its "career" outdoors. The most interesting part are the reinforcements made by hand welding along the entire profile of the blade of the shovel. Although not a certainly functional artistic work; this is proof of the mastery and skills that the staff had acquired in working in a mine like this.
Pala da sottosuolo GHH mining machine, quando vennero introdotte nella miniera di Monteponi aiutarono a rendere il lavoro più leggero e veloce. Non sabbe male vederla esposta in una zona protetta e non esposta alle intemperie. Una macchina che nasce per lavorare al chiuso che finisce al sua "carriera" all'aria aperta. La parte più interessante sono i rinforzi realizzati con saldatura a mano lungo tutto il profilo della lama della pala. Seppure non un lavoro artistico sicuramente funzionale; questo a riprova della maestria e delle competenze che il personale aveva acquisito nel lavorare in una miniera come questa.
