Nice job documenting those two adits up there! I’ve been to this area several times over the last 15 years or so. Always found most of the mines there to be duds like you did. As you mentioned, the underground workings must’ve been somewhat significant based on the size of the waste rock piles outside both adits. I tried doing some research on those mines but was never able to find any old mining reports or anything like that which had descriptions of the underground workings, production amounts, and other related information. They seem to be a mystery and are, unfortunately, decaying into oblivion.
Thanks! I wish there was more information on that area. It’s a bit out of the way from our usual mine explorations in the PNW but like you said I couldn’t find anything significant when I looked into it. I love your videos by the way! Your exploration of the victorine mine years ago was one of the things that first inspired us to start documenting the mining history in our corner of the country

Specimens to start a Adit.
