On a mesquite tree (genus Prosopsis ), in Hidden Spring Wash, Orocopia Mountains Wilderness Area, California.

Candelaria district, Mineral County, Nevada. This was the site of the mill for the 19th century ore-crushing operations. Only the (stone) foundation remains--presumably concrete was way too expensive at the time, with the transporation costs. All the superstructure--the timbers, the stamp mills, and so on--is also gone, presumably moved on to the next big strike. They were way too valuable to just abandon! Such mills, even into the 20th century, were build on a slope so that the ore could be moved thru the operation by gravity. The inset photo shows a different view.
