Other surface facilities include the storage area for development (or waste) rock\, the backfill plant\, the truck repair shop\, and the water treatment plant. \n\nEagle Mine tour participants meet at the Eagle Mine Information Center at 153 A West Washington Street in downtown Marquette\, and bus transportation is provided for the tour. \n\nTours of the Humboldt Mill will be offered on the following dates from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.: June 26\, July 17\, July 31\, August 14\, September 11\, and September 25. \n\nOn the Humboldt Mill Tour\, you will see what happens to the ore after it leaves the mine site. The tour is a walking tour that begins at the administrative office. It follows the circuit of crushing\, grinding\, and flotation processes\, taking the ore from a haul truck to a rail car. Visitors should be prepared to walk on-site for about an hour\, including up and down stairs and over metal grating. \n\nTransportation is not provided for the Humboldt Mill tour.
