(with son Jimmy) told us he could not give us permission to enter any of the mine shafts but that some of the closed-down living quarters near by had bats and that we could look there if we wished. His son Jimmy (about 10 or 11) showed us around and showed where he had seen bats. We found bats in between the 2 x 4s and siding and kittling the boards. To get them out.
