Photos - Frame left: More relics of the past from a pile of mining artifacts on the hill between upper Sandon and down town Sandon. A water pump?

Frames right and center: This looks like a chemical tank of some sort with viewing ports on each end and at the top (possibly storage for the chemical concentrates in leaching process). Two houses in upper Sandon behind frame right are near the Sandon Generation Station with Silversmith Power and Light Corporation.

Photos - L-R - An old shack beside what used to be the railroad out of town.

A tube bundle for a boiler. The tube bundles act as a heat exchanger for liquids passing through the tubes, cooled by whatever was passing around the tubes in the bundle (like the radiator in a car; the liquid in the radiator is cooled by air flowing around the flow of liquid which then returns to the engine to keep the engine cooler).

A house and garage on main street. One of a few that are still occupied by towns people.

Photos - Frames left and center: Sandon Museum or commonly known as the Hunter Kendrick Block one of a few buildings to survive the 1955 flood..

Frame right: Brill Trolley busses from Vancouver Transit in front of the Visitor's Center and Prospector's Pick (Old Sandon City Hall) which also survived the flood of 1955.
