…. if you've ever been to Wawa .... ...you likely have seen this mining artifact – located near the tourist office – and is not a 'preservation' but more like an archaeological relic. From the Kozak Mine ( closed circa 1930) near Hawk Junction, this is a recovered gold mine mucking machine with a shaft bucket. It appears that the mucker was compressed air powered. Track appeared to be about 22 inch gauge. August 23, 2020 at Wawa, image by B.Danko
