This museum is in the mountain.
This unit is displayed at the entrance.
There were plenty of places to air up the locomotive
in the mine.
A lot of air is used for the drills.

I think the Colorado mining started out with gold.
As the the technology advanced, other silver and other stuff was mined as well.
I don't know anything about the Homestake itself.
