Herman Saw Mill on Silver Creek, New Mexico
Lead
The mill, owned by Herman & Wilkie, had its site on Silver Creek graded and prepared for machinery by July 1890 [1][4]. A photograph shows six wooden buildings and large cut logs of Ponderosa Pine stacked upslope in a heavily wooded canyon [2][3]. The mill was the source of lumber for the Cooney Mining District [2][3]. The Silver City Museum holds the photograph in its collection [2][3].
