QUICKSILVER MINES, NEW ALMADEN, CALIFORNIA, attributed to Harrison Eastman, ca. 1850s. As the gold mining evolved, it integrated related industrial operations. This mining complex has factory buildings and other structures of the Hacienda Reduction Works, along the Alamitos Creek. The reduction process mixed mercury into the gold ore, creating a mercury-gold amalga. The mixture was heated to a temperature that vaporized the mercury, leaving the gold behind (watercolour)
