Pioche, Additional Photographs

From the top:
#1...This is the Gem Theater, which it would appear has been closed for a long time.
#2...This is the old school whose owner was run out of town.
#3...This is Godbe’s Mill that processed the ore carried to it by the tram system.
#4...This is the tram, which operated in the 1920s and 30s. It carried ore from high on Treasure Hill down to the Godbe’s Mill in the valley a couple miles away. It was powered for the most part by gravity, with the aid of a five-horse power engine. The momentum of the loaded buckets going down hill was enough to cause empty buckets to move back up to the top of the hill. The little lawn mower sized engine was there just to help out when help was needed.
#5...This is a portion of the Pioche Golf Course. It’s a 9-hole, 1656-yard course with 7 par 3 holes and 2 par 4 holes. The rules say you can carry a small artificial swatch of grass to use after teeing off. Hope is alive that they will be able to expand the course, build a clubhouse and include a driving range. They even hope to have real grass someday. Right now it may not be the prettiest course, but it's a start.
