Title:
Kimberly
Description:
Morris-Brooks (later the Tripp Pit), Alpha, Little Richard, and Emma-Nevada Shafts. Consolidated Coppermines had two Cooke 0-4-0Ts for loading ore from their headframe ore bins and assembling the ore cars in the Kimberly yard. From there, ore cars were transported to the McGill Concentrator, probably by NCCCo. ore trains. Coppermines' mining was shutdown from 1932 until 1937. When mining resumed at Kimberly in 1937, the ore cars were switched at the Emma-Nevada and Morris-Brooks Shafts by Nevada Con switch engines from Copper Flat. The ore cars were assembled in the ore yard at Copper Flat where the Ore Haulage department moved the cars to McGill along with Nevada Con (later Kennecott) ore.
