hi Butcher, thax for ur imput, i havent given the stamp mill much thought, you sparked my intrest. there are very few horses here in this part of alaska and none where i am at. we try to haul as m,uch heavey stuff as weather and tme permits in by iron dog sled (snow machine and seld) every winter. this winter is particulary a hard one lots of snow and sub zero temps.
I am going to try to find out some info on stamp mill. I do have a good sized creek close to where we are working and i havent used water power for 40 years or more but i have a good spot for a water wheel. thanks agian

Look at how ole timers done it, and pack in some modern tools, to make it easier?

? Dog sled in? Pack in, or find a big moose? An Alaskan saw mill (I made mine home made), with supplies gas, oil, spare chain and other tools needed to cut and drill lumber, nails spikes, and build the mill at site from wood found at site, sled in other parts needed cam's, hammer's, rod's, bushing and bearings......

I built a mini stamp mill for powdering Ore and CPU’s, their is really not too much to it, cam lifts a rod with a hammer (stamp) and drops it repeatedly, rock is powdered with hammer blows, like ball mills there is speed of cycles involved.

Waterpower could also turn a ball mill, or about anything, the lifted water could also be used in long tom’s sluice boxes…

Maybe the ball mill tank could be made into a wagon once at site the wagon wheels become pulleys for turning the mill, if you have a trail accesses.
