Crystal Mill
Mill is located 8 miles east of Marble and 0.2miles before Crystal via a 4x4 only road, about 8 miles
long. Built in 1892 and was originally a compressor plant. River water was taken into the building and sent down
the "ladder like" structure, which housed a turbine at the bottom. The turbine drove the compressor and the
air was used in an ore processing plant(no longer standing)next to the mill and in mines across the river. White
