    This has got to be the longest manway ladder we have ever explored ......and the stopes are big enough to slide down like a super slide. The haulage adit is over a mile long and the incline shaft goes on forever .....you will love this explore. We found so many untouched artifacts everywhere and mineral deposits to boot. If you love these explores like we do, then you are going to love watching this one ua-cam.com/video/ZUdeKHJxWsE/v-deo.html and smash that like button ...Smash it HARD !!!

We would not have seen wat a marvel they created through the lense of Jeff&Co. all these years later. That place was massive! Thanks Jeff for showing the world this gem. A beauty for sure. Keep at it Melissa. Sometimes it all seems thankless, but rest assured, there will be those points along the way where you'll stop, look back and realize that is was worth everything you put into it AND THEN SOME!

    Ok that’s an awesome awesome mine ! Also I did something you just have to try , I love seeing different ways to catch gold and today I setup my little Home Depot bag mixer and I set it on a little hill so it was slightly flatter and I just kept shoveling this material in and set up the hose so it was running into it the whole time . I went through about 6 wheel barrows throwing material in while it was spinning and then I dumped the remains in a black pan and it was loaded with heavies . I think it would make a great personal gold processing plant if you have water to use constantly lol

I did what any good gold miner would do. I went back to the truck and grabbed the classifiers and my pan. My third pan and I was getting some good flakes of gold. Only one problem, I had to leave 😊

  • @TroyDowVanZandt
    @TroyDowVanZandt 2 місяці тому

    A big mine like that--with all that infrastructure--raises some interesting questions about the business of mining, especially back in the day. The first questions revolve around financing. Were there banks that specialized in making loans to miners? Of course, with larger mines, raising capital could be done by going public to one degree or another--either forming a regular or closed corporation. Another business model would be some form of partnership. Businesses are a series of inputs versus outputs. Somebody has to keep track of what's being invested versus what's coming out and what might come out in the future. This speaks to an interplay of executives, accountants, engineers and geologists. Mines have a lifecycle. They're born with an initial adit or shaft and die when the last face stops advancing. What goes into that final decision to wind up? Then there's a chance a mine might come back to life. I am writing this in the tourist (trap) town of Tombstone. The mines here closed in the late 1880s when a fire took out the pumping works and the price of silver fell. It's conceivable that the price of silver may reach a point at which--when combined with modern pumping technology--it might be profitable to resume mining.

    The best part of that mine exploration…no water=no gases=no hydrogen sulfide =no bad expedition into the bowels of the earth. There is one thing that I fear about old mines…water. If you go to explore an old mine, you find water in it, get the hell out of there. One Little Rock drop into a pool of stagnant water could set off a hydrogen sulfide release that can kill a person in seconds.

    I guess there's an advantage to being out west where the water table is near non-exsistent.

      @slimwantedman6694 so sad . I remember we helped build the baseball field, and my dad coached my brothers team to a tri state champion " Harney league " and roller skating at the laundromat by the Red Owl store. I always wanted to go back, but I guess you can never go back to that time.

    That mine does look like it still has plenty of high grade? Those crushed timber areas sure do look pretty scary, huh?

    What’s funny as a kid my grandpa would order a case of dynamite and box of caps from our local hardware store and when it came in we would go pick it up throw dynamite in back and caps in the cab. We were building a pole barn for hay and in our part of Missouri the ground was like cement so it was easiest way to blast holes, also used it for the corner posts on the fence line. No license, permissions or any of that.
