Molten rock is poured here after metals are extracted from mining and smelting activites. Once in while you can see the molten rock being poured from the railway cars. It's a spectacular sight after dark.

In 1984, the area occupied by slag was 400 acres and slag was still being produced at a rate of 4,000 tons per day.
