Lime Kiln Canyon, NV
Lime Kiln Canyon is just over the hill from Harrison Pass and the Star Tungsten Mine. There are two small tungsten mines here, one on the north side of Lime Kiln Canyon, and one on the south side of the canyon. Both these mines are related to the Star Tungsten Mine claim.
The mine on the north side of the canyon is in better condition and has larger and more interesting structures. I don't know the name of this mine, but I suspect it might be the Campbell Mine.
The second mine is across the canyon. It has a shaft next to a large, exposed stope. The headframe is damaged, with parts missing, and was never very large. There's no ore bin, and the hoist house is a small, lightly-built structure. The trail to this mine was blocked by trees and brush, so I could only get photos with my drone.
