Up road from Enaville Idaho
Is Smelterville
A small community
With a huge mining history
It had an enormous
Zinc Iron and Silver Smelting facility
Which cast ingots up to 2000 pounds
At 99.9 percent purity
It was part of the Bunker Hill Mining operations
The Bunker Hill Mine had 27 levels
Going down into the ground for over a mile
The Bunker Hill Mine
Had a huge high technology 73.5 ton air compressor
Which is now sitting behind the Kellogg Museum
All this was part of a larger mining operation
Which featured incredibly built
Mills
Refineries
Processing plants
Of various kinds
With enormous sophisticated machinery
Most of which has been destroyed
There were also hundreds of other mines in the area
This was part of an even bigger picture
There was extensive logging operations
A 30 mile canal was built
From Cataldo to Coeur d’Alene Lake
Which is now the Coeur d’Alene River
This was needed to drain the swamps
And to float the logs down to lumber mills
Located on the lake
There used to be 7 mills on the lake
Enormous areas of basalt rock
Was evenly cut out
Of mountainous areas
Where elaborate damns were constructed
To control the flow of the now
Much larger water drainage system
There was also an extensive Railroad system
That went up to the North Idaho mountains
And there were electric trains
In operation at the various plants
North Idaho in the late 1800’s
Was supposed to have been the Wild West
It did not have the manpower
Nor the capability
To do any of these
Enormous highly skilled constructions
And ingenious inventions
Of complex machinery
In the late 1800’s
Or early 1900’s
The truth is that it all
Was inherited from the former culture
Which was wiped out in the early 1800’s
The former Tartarian Empire
