     History
    The Kilns were built in 1877 for the mines in the camp of Lookout, about 25 miles away. There two smelters burned 3,000 bushels of charcoal a day, and the closest source of wood was at Wildrose. So a crew of fourty men to keep the furnaces filled with wood and cut nearby trees down. But the ore at the mines turned rebellious, and so by 1879 the kilns were closed down for good.
