    Thank you for documenting these ruins that may not be around much longer. Every time I see these remote mines in harsh climates, I'm amazed at the stamina and strength those miners had.

    man, I can't imagine the hard life the men working those mines had to of had. There aren't many these days who could do it.

    Hi, I am really enjoying watching your video's, I have watched about half of them so far. I loved the first video showing all of the now dilapidated cabins etc and the mine itself in this episode really looks epic but I totally agree when you said that you wouldn't go into the mine because no-one knew you were there, a very sensible and wise decision. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💖

    Can I say “I really appreciate your videos.” ? After watching I hit my USGS California & Nevada Index’s and order a map. Also there is “tons” of buried historical information to “mine” if one is interested in carrying this further. I just love the Mojave/Great Basin....visiting the “real” outdoors & researching history in the library. Love human history! In the absence of drone use one can always go to Google Earth. The monster eye in the sky. Currently making the attempt to map out all the abandoned RR line’s in the sw desert.

      I enjoy History and exploring, but where I live not to many places, I love Death valley and Mojave desert. It's just nobody by me enjoy the same passion. I was out at both places by New Mexico and Nevada 3 weeks on a solo road trip. Went and seen a few places but it's always nice to go with someone else .

    Any idea when this mine was active? Suspect a long time ago given the condition of the wooden trestles.

    Interesting video, brought back some very 'old' memories... About 30 years ago I 'explored
    ' that area and visited the Monarch, Morehouse and the Rob Roy mines. All three are relatively close to each other.. Doesn't look like much has changed :).........

      I thought you said earlier in the first video that it was copper and silver? Was talc worth enough when this mine was running to warrant a huge operation like that?
