25 Stamper

Listen to the rhythmic pounding of the historic Stamper, a crucial tool for crushing tin-bearing ore in the early 1900s. Originally developed in Cornish tin mines, this powerful machine made mining less labor-intensive and more efficient. Located beside the Happy Jack Tin Mine, the Stamper here is powered by an early McCormick tractor, showcasing the evolution from steam to internal combustion engines in mining technology. Visit Mandalee Kitchen for a miniature working model to see this fascinating process up close.
