The "Powder Magazine" is a small structure used as a storage site for mining explosives. Generally, there were two powder magazines at each mine...one for explosives and one for the primers used to ignite the dynamite. They were typically made of rocks or concrete to prevent a fire from destroying the structure. This powder magazine can be found near Goldfield, Colorado. . . . ----------------------------------------- #Colorado #mining #gold #visitcolorado #trail #hiking #victorcolorado #Mines #
