This is the only known (to me, as of 12.01.2017) view of the Gold Geyser Mill structures, located along the creek named Cripple creek, about halfway between Mound City and southern part of town of Cripple Creek, a little south of the Ophelia Tunnel. View shows a small wooden mill structure on a hill side, the creek is just below the structures and there is possible a water wheel across the creek hidden inside the log structure seen near left-hand side view of the lower half of it. But the smokestack also indicates they run on either wood or coal, and I guess there is two levels inside this mill judging from the side look of it.Gold Geyser Mill, Cripple Creek
