Mines are dangerous.  Enter at your own risk.

I do not know the name to this mine, so that is why it got assigned a generic name.



This mine seemed to be a good producer in its day.  There are three entrances with, I’m assuming, connecting levels.  Judging by the tailings there were thousands of feet of tunnels.  You can find many artifacts and relics strewn across the area here.  Please be respectful and do not take or move anything.  Just enjoy it and take photos so the next person can enjoy it too.

There is a large boiler around the first entrance of this mine with other random pieces of metal nearby.  You can find pipes, iron rails, and rubber pieces.

The upper entrances have some relics and the entrances are closed.  You can see where the tunnels went inside the mountain but they have since been caved.

This mine was a pretty good sized operation.
