Gold in Them Thar Hills

Vintage gold mining equipment displayed at the Ironstone Winery in Murphys California. This equipment was made by the Joshua Hendy Iron Works of San Francisco, Ca. Incorporated in 1903. Located in Sunnyvale and San Francisco, CA. Here is a little history update I found:

"Among the products of these famous works are heavy mining machinery comprising stamp mills, rock or ore crushers, ball mills, and machinery of all description pertaining to mining, irrigation, hydroelectric works, etc., etc. Machinery manufactured at Sunnyvale have been set up in the most remote parts of the earth,—as when two Hendy mills were installed at Nome, Alaska, in 1912. There are two-stamp and three-stamp mills, and each is a model in design and workmanship. The iron works also manufacture ore and rock cars, for which they are famous, and these include Hendy's Ideal Car, steel double side dump "v"-shaped body cars, gable bottom cars, and cradle or U-shaped body side dump cars, and the Matteson side and end dump cars. Original and leaders in their own path-breaking movements, the Joshua Hendy Iron Works keep pointing the way for others to follow, and they leave no stone unturned to send out only perfectly-finished goods, howsoever bulky and common in general style they may happen to be. Both Sunnyvale, Santa Clara County, and San Francisco are to be congratulated on having such a product of the Twentieth Century as the Joshua Hendy Iron Works of Sunnyvale and the Bay City, the former boasting of the factory whose efficiency is largely due to the exceptional superintendence of the genial director, Mr. H. S. Rexworthy."
