Concrete fan housing at the Desperation shaft, northeast corner of West Quartz and Western.

This structure housed a fan used to ventilate the Anselmo mine. It served to draw air out of the Anselmo mine workings, making the Anselmo shaft, 1,600 feet to the northeast, the downcast shaft that supplied fresh air to Anselmo’s several working levels. | Source: Photo by Fred Quivik, July 2024.
