Mono Mills tour report

From:

"In the years when Bodie was an active mining camp, and a lumber railroad ran past the east side of Mono Lake to sawmills then in operation, lime was burned from chemical deposits of calcareous tufa which had been formed by springs rising beneath the waters of Quaternary Mono Lake. This lime was sold for use at the cyanide plants in Bodie for as much as $35 a ton. The last recorded lime production was in 1913.
