  the district's most significant ore-processing plants. Using historical
  photographs\, maps\, diagrams\, and the remains of the mill itself\, we

 y roasting\, gravity concentration and mercury amalgamation to the adopt
 ion of froth flotation. The Silver King Mill serves as a window into the
  ingenuity of the engineers and miners who helped make Park City one of 
 America's great silver-producing districts\, and whose legacy can still 
 be seen in the landscape today. Donovan is a retired mining consultant. 
 He received his mining education in England at the Universities of Newca
