ABOUT
The Kennecot Mine Mill is part of a vast series of mineshafts along the south westren part of Freedonia, currently it goes and gives recourses to BenEm and New Kanal Town. It was first made by SnapJaw and designed by her brother in a series of confusing sketches, the sketches were made in 2016 as a joke but were confirmed to be a project in july 2018. Currently the mine has 5 main tunnels and 6 minecarts for travel.
WHAT ITS LIKE INSIDE THE MINES

In the mines players use minecarts to get around, usually the trains consist of 5-7 carts and can hold over 100 stacks of ore per cart. Pure ore (Diamonds, Redstone, and Lapis) get sent to the storage warehouse imitatively, however Iron and Gold head to a smelter inside the mill itself. The mines produce 64 redstone, 32 iron, and 15 gold per day as of oct 2018, however this may change when more miners come along to Kennecott. The mill began construction on 19/10/18 and it was finished 22/10/18 with its storage shack being built. The mine has a 2nd entrance besides Kennecott, the 2nd entrance is called the Erie mine and its located on a nearby hill.
REAL LIFE INSPERATIONS
SnapJaw has been to the real life Kennecott twice, its a small mining town/ghost town in the middle of Alaska. it contains 4 mines in it, Erie, Kennecott, Bonanza, and MotherLoad. The mine was operational 1911-1938 and the ore was so rich that it could be shipped to get smelt down without processing, the mine IRL and IG are very simular in operation except in game it acts mainly as a Redstone mine.

After the 21st SnapJaw made a ore shack for the mine for easier storage after smelting.
