facilities. This building was used in the days when women were considered bad luck <br />underground and it is doubtful that female miners ~.vere employed, hence doubtful <br />that the shower rooms were for different genders. It seems likely that the larger <br />room was for th e miners and the smaller for supervisory personnel. The bathhouse <br />was built about the same time as the Tipple (N. and F. G. 'Nhaley 1979, personal <br />communication). <br />S. Small wooden outhouse located just south of the bathhouse. This building <br />is still standing, though recent bulldozer work in the area has left it in a rather <br />precarious position. <br />T. Pile of rail and tie plates located to the south of the bathhouse. The Rio <br />Grande was doing extensive track maintenance and upgrading in the Haybro area this <br />summer and it seems likely that these materials were unloaded here for use in this <br />activity. Or, the pile of equipment could represent worn rail that had just been <br />replaced. It is doubtful if this is an historic rail pile. <br />U. Historic trash consisting of metal debris piled aT the end of a bulldozer cuT <br />where P3~M has been doing recent road grading immediately north of the mine office. <br />The debris consists of t~.visted wreckage of mining machinery, pipe, metallic <br />latticework, girder fragments, etc. <br />Y. Portions of concrete wall exposed in recent roadcut, located to the east and <br />slightly north of foundation Q, near the railroad grade. <br />Z. Collapsed wooden roof located between foundation Q and concrete frag- <br />ments L. Most of the roof remains are in a flattened, deteriorated condition. The <br />walls are obscured beneath the collapsed roof, or the roof may have been moved in <br />from another location. <br />A'. Historic roadcut running from area behind machine shop (K) to intersecT <br />with mine track grade (G). No ties or other evidence of right-of-way was found here, <br />therefore it ,vas probably a road. <br />. In addition to these remains in the survey area, other structural remains are <br />found to the east of Oak Creek and will be briefly mentioned (see Photo S). <br />
