The mechanics who built the mill stated that they have been.building from three to five stamp mills each yearfoE several years but had never built one that had greater promise of success than the Red Buck. The water is pumped from the Hassayampa through pipe line a little oyer one mile in length. The mill Is built right at the mine, the ore being dumped from the mouth of the tunnel into the mill.
