Warren Sawmill on Turkey Creek in Red Cliff. Warren provided some of the mining timber for the mine at Gilman. The timber is being moved through the saw on a cart riding on tracks. The saw had an attachment used to make a special cut that allowed the mining timbers to quickly be put together in the mine. Ike Dump is closest to the camera on the right, feeding logs into the saw.
