On May 27, 1890 E.J. Longyear established a tent camp for his crew and himself near the tripod of the drill. He brought his bride to the drill site in September 1890. Constructed on the hill was a two room building made of rough pine boards from a local sawmill. This served both as home and office.

Equipment donated by the following:
Ira D. Odgers - Model H Sullivan drill and churn buck
Harry C. Walker - Steam water pump
Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Co. - Steam boiler

Thanks to the generous contribution from Richard P. Longyear of California
