Gold Arrastra

Early miners used various crude techniques to remove precious metals from the ore prior to 1867. The Gold Arrastra three miles west of Alma employed one man and his donkeys to grind gold-bearing ore to fine particles. It was later replaced by the stream-powered Paris Mill, just up the road.
