| View of the mine dump below the main open cut of the Morning Star Mine. A large volume of rock had to be removed by the miners to get to the zinc ore. This waste rock was usually dumped over the hill side in dumps like this one. | Old iron ore cart used to haul both ore to the tram site and waste rock to the mine dumps. This cart is located along the hiking trail from the entrance to the Morning Star open cut to the Capps Mine. |

| Entrance to the main open cut of the Morning Star Mine. Here the zinc vein was close to the surface so the miners worked the ore by digging a large trench. Further along the vein got deeper into the hill side and it became easier and cheaper to mine the ore using a tunnel. | Gated tunnel entrance to a portion of the underground working of the Capps Mine. The width of the bars allows easy passage of bats which now inhabit the abandoned mine workings. |
