Using the
same early map, note the first building to appear on the Bonanza mine site was
the "cabin," which was a small barrack. Among the names which early on are
associated with this
site are Stephen Birch himself who was the genius behind Kennecott and its first
President.
This may very well have been Stephen Birch's first Kennecott residence.
The original adit, as you can see from the map, was behind this building.
Eventually this "cabin"
would be replaced by the much larger barrack you viewed in an earlier post.
