Martha Rose, later renamed Walsh Smelter, by about 1917 had fallen into disrepair. The slag heaps to the left ended up being ballast for the D&RGW. By 2018, where the structures are a $2 million cleanup has provided the site for affordable housing now under construction. Ruins of the North Star Mill across Mineral Creek are still present.

Built in 1858 by Francis W Pearson for the Gerldine Mining Company, the smelter was used until late 1859. The Warribanno Smelter Complex Ruin is the oldest identified European mining site in Western Australia and the smelter is the oldest surviving smelter in WA and one of the earliest in Australia. It consisted of one roasting and two large smelting (reverbatory) furnaces with a large chimney 105 feet above the works. Close by were cottages for workmen, blacksmith shop, a quarry and a convenient supply of wood. The Warribanno smelter is one of a complex of sites associated with the Geraldine Mining Company, and with Port Gregory and the Lynton Convict Hiring Depot for the shipping and transport of lead, which caused the construction of wells along an overland route through Trevenson. The name Warribanno was first recorded by surveyor William Phelps in the 1860s. It is believed to be derived from 2 aboriginal (Nanda dialect) words - Warri (fire) and Bunna (hill).
The Geraldine Lead Mine, located approx 5kms North-East, is the earliest European settlement in the Mid-west of Western Australia.

Wallaroo Smelters operated 1861-1923. The Copper Store was built in 1906 and partly demolished in 1930. Wallaroo South Australia
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and California Department of Fish and Wildlife, along with the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, experimentally released captively produced Delta smelt into the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta on Dec. 14-15, 2021. This project will help inform future supplementation of the species in the wild. Though it was once plentiful in the Delta ecosystem, this threatened fish species is now a rare sight. Recent studies led by DWR have bolstered confidence that Delta smelt born and raised in hatcheries can acclimate to wild conditions and support recovery of the species. Video by Brandon Honig/USFWS

gutted and ready to go.
I hadn't eaten smelt since I was a kid. My dad would bring back bags of rainbow smelt back from trips to Port Huron or Point Pelee and fry them up. I remember going but we were always skunked those times. I couldn't pass these up when I passed a stall at the farmers' market selling these guys from Eureka. $4 a pound seems steep but I was willing to pay that for a little reminiscing.
These turned out excellently, although I did over fry one batch. They're like paczci; you're bound to screw up the first batch. :)
Undated but probably around the time period of World War I. The smelter has been inactive since about 1897 and is in a derelict situation. Most of this was removed by about 1919.
Several of the round "buttons" of slag seen here are preserved at our museum, the rest of this slag pile became ballast for the D&RGW in the 1960-70 period. The 2 boxcars are sitting on the D&RG's spur to the North Star mill shown top right across Mineral Creek.
And fast forward to 2022--Dear Shane, owner of some of this land is discovering what used to sit here--surprise.
Jeg var ikke helt fornøyd med smeltingen, og bruker en embossingmaskin til å smelte litt ekstra. Vær forsiktig, det skal ikke mye til.
Slike embossingmaskiner kan kjøpes i hobbyforretninger og andre steder der de selger utstyr til scrap-booking. Den fungerer som en varmluftpistol, men er ikke så kraftig.
En bør egentlig bruke noe brannsikkert som underlag når en bruker slike maskiner. (f eks aluminiumsfole)

A room within a room in the Quincy Smelter in Ripley, Michigan. The smelter operated from 1898 until 1967, refining copper from the Quincy Mine, on the hill above nearby Hancock, Michigan.
The smelter is private property, and is normally closed to the public. However, the smelter was briefly opened for tours last weekend, and I had the special opportunity to enjoy a photographic tour. I had amazing access to the abandoned buildings at the site, some left almost as they were when the smelter closed -- papers on desks, stacks of materials in the corners, machinery in place.

a smelt shack is a simple, portable hut used for smelt fishing. when the river freezes, the guys bring the shack down and put it on the river. there's no floor on one side, so that you can chop a hole in the ice and fish through it. and always bring a lantern and a kerosene heater.
a smelt is a very small fish, usually deep fried whole.
just in case you didn't know.
