Kennedy Mine tailings impound dam.

An impound dam was built 1000 feet from Wheel #4 and it was constructed to hold the 850 tons of tailings that were deposited in "Indian Gulch" every day from 1914 to 1933. The multiple arch dam is 455 feet wide and 44 feet high. It was first built in 1914 and brought to its full height a number of years later.
