mine, noticing in route that another road
(which might be drier) joins my route above
the soggy part. This route left the main
hwy (395') further south than where I
turned. I'll try it next time.
On arrival at the mine it appears a bit
more complex than at a distance. There
are actually 5 mine dumps in a row but 2
are less conspicuous. These all face NW &
thus were seen from Hallelujah Jet. However
there are also several other diggings. These are
in a sequence also but face SW & are
lower in elevation so that they are not
so conspicuous from a distance. The 1st
of these is just above a shack at the mouth
of the small canyon in which all the shafts
are located. It appears to be a horizontal
shaft in unstable dirt which has caved in.
A short ways further up is a round hole
that also appears to be a cave-in into the
horizontal shaft below. Further up is a
large vertical shaft with a small headrig
above it & most of the hole covered with
planks, obviously placed since the time of
operation of the mine. Further up is another
shaft which is at 1st horizontal but then plunges
straight down in solid rock. It seems likely
