The Goldfield Consolidated Mining Company under construction in Goldfield, Nevada. A Tonopah and Goldfield Railroad engine (seen on the railroad tracks) was converted into a crane to aid construction. The mining company was formed in 1907 and the mill was constructed late in the year and began processing ore in early 1908. The company was formed by George Nixon and George Wingfield. The mill continued running until 1918 when the company ceased operation.
