Ore Chimney was an offshoot of Eldorado and came into being only after a process called cyanide separation was invented to separate the gold from its parent rock. It began production in 1909 and remained in operation until sometime in the 1920s. There are a number of visible ruins that still can be seen including the foundations of the mill and the shell of the powerhouse. Submitted by: Henry Chenoweth
