Canyon Creek Kilns & Old Glendale ruins, MT 9/12/04

These kilns used to make charcoal to be used in the mining smelters. Click on the photo to read about them. The photos below will give you an idea of the size of them and what they look like. Giant beehives.

You could still smell the smoke inside the kilns after a hundred years.

This was a neat bunch of ruins along Canyon Creek rd. west of Melrose, MT. I later found out that these are the ruins from a small mining town called Glendale. See some old pictures by clicking here.

Looks like this could have been an old school house.

Could this have been the Church?

More walls.

This stack was made out of multi colored bricks and stones it was very ornate for a smokestack.

Was this the ice box? Does anyone know?

An old mine shaft and buildings.

Looking down.
