These mills where where Chase Gulch met with Clear Creek.  This was also the location of the transfer station where ore was directly transferred to the C&S.

The Polar Star used amalgamation and concentration processes.  It had 40 slow drop 500-pound stamps with amalgamation plates, 8 Gilpin County bumpers.  It's capacity was 49-60 tons.

The Eagle also used amalgamation and concentration.  It had 20-25 stamps and Gilpin County bumpers.  It's capacity was 70 tons.
