Figured this would be a great place to add these links, some great shots of the Silver King in its hey day that really highlight how big of an operation it was. Also, I think these pictures are a much better representation of the area than the ones on the info kiosk outside of the mine.
Enjoy, we were standing in some of these same spots today!
Remember the kiosk pictures view of the mill depicted as if it was coming from the mine owners house? Its actually from the front porch of the boarding house:
PS, Russ. I remember somewhere (was it on our trip last fall) that you had a schematic showing all the stages of the mill and we were able to locate them. Is that something you have in digital form? I was mentioning it on the NHMI tour today.

) and hike up there again and just try and located everything. Glad you enjoyed it, if you haven't had a chance to hike up there do so, its an easy 10-15 minute hike (family friendly) and its literally one of the neater mining locations (non underground of course) in the state imo.
