Old electric hoist in mine. Those who have seen my DVD on exploring old mines have seen much of the machinery etc. from this mine.
Dead turtle (left) and small deer (upper right), these animals fell through the vertical shaft that intersects this mine, haven't found any humans yet!
Shaft above the dead animals.
Side tunnel.
Mud pool in mine tunnel.
Stalagmites forming in tunnel.
As you can see, I am just happy as a pig in pig stuff to be taking more video in the mine. Thanks to Warren for taking the pics for this report.
Water pool.
John D. Meanwhile, back outside, the other members were digging in the dumps across the train tracks in search of garnet, mica, and apatite. |
