Ruins of the assay office, April Fool Mill, Delamar, Lincoln County, Nevada USA.
I just can't resist this shot - not the first time.

I went a little higher on the ridge to get this shot.
I was able to reduce the blue haze somewhat, hope it doesn't look unnatural. Those mountains are about 14 miles to the closest group.

April Fool Mill's assay office lower right. Some walls of stores "downtown" are visible along the road.
When the water went off, almost everyone left town within a few days, over 2,000 to under 100 people.

The last lift station for Delamar's old water pipeline from Meadow Valley. Shut down September 1, 1909. In the 1930's when cyanider's reworked the mill tailings, I believe they pulled off the front wall to access the pipe and install their own equipment. They used several springs in Cedar Wash and never had enough water to run continuously.
It was a beautiful winter day - temp in the 50's F at 6,000 feet. I took my jacket off climbing the hill right.
