Rock Engine Chimney at Hayworth Springs Road Jamestown
A 75 foot stone chimney built in 1832 by Eleazer Kersey supported a rock engine and kiln for ore processing near the Kivett and I-85 area. It linked to mining ventures including Lindsey or North State Mining, later North State Copper & Gold Mine until 1901, with a Lantham Co. revival that failed by 1937. The adjacent stone building, begun 1834, is largely dismantled with stones reused. Ownership passed to Hayworth heirs and then W G Ragsdale Jr. The chimney remains a visible relic once tied to Guilford County gold mining and hunted by target practice years ago. The inscribed date is worn but legible.
