The final leg of our journey would be spent at the transformer building ruins which served as a powerhouse for the electrical locomotives which carried buckets of ore on a 6 thousand long tram system throughout these hills. Each locomotive probably had about 12 cars or buckets lined up at the entrance of each mine where the ore could be loaded onto a train which then took the ore down to the valley floor where it made its way to the Copper Belt Railroad. This stone building is truly a marvel their is even a memorial of a dirt biker who passed away. The building is crumbling my son and I try to throw rocks through this window for a bit I entertained him till we decided to move onto something else. You can see also the town below this building quite well in the valley through the giant openings found throughout the building. Our last leg of this adventure would be spent visiting the copper vault and a few foundations. This really is all that remains of the old part of Mason besides the Bluestone Mill. While the mining operation huge at one time they could process up to 600 perhaps a 1000 tons a day below this building thanks to the tram system transporting ore for the smelter was done swiftly. Anything copper ore processed or even earnings could be stored in this massive stone vault. Our day spent in Mason was memorable however it was in the middle of December so a storm was brewing it was getting cold in the 30's and it was time for us to drive away leaving old Mason behind our backs to the wind!
