General notes:
The first info from Dec. 1892 gave the impressiin this mill was near town of Cripple Creek, but the name is confusing as the Huntington mill is also a brand for some machinery, so this mill might be already known under another name... So, I link this to be near the Cooper Placer for time being.


The Rocky Mountain News (Daily), Volume 34, December 18, 1892 mention that this mill would began work the coming week, and that it has a capacity of about 65-tons per 24-hours, and that is was located just south of town known as Cripple Creek, on/along the creek of same name.


The Rocky Mountain News (Daily), Volume 34, June 25, 1892 say that workmen are employed night and day setting up the Huntington mill for the treatment of the soil from from the Cooper placer on Arequa. The contractors are under bond to have the mill ready for operation by next Thursday evening, and it will be ready by that time. The capacity of the mill be fifty tons per day.


The Colorado Daily Chieftain, September 25, 1892 call this the 'Arequa Huntington mill' and say it treats 15 tons of placer dirt per day.
