Yes, it's definitely a sketchy one. Good eye spotting the Charles Brown calendar. I was wondering when someone would mention that. I only stop in the Chevron if I'm desperate for something as the prices are so high. Lots of interesting history about Charles Brown associated with Shoshone. One of the grave markers of a relative of Charles Brown in the little cemetery there reads, "I told you I was sick." I got a good chuckle out of that. Thanks for the comment!👍😊

Super extra special icing on the cake: square set timbering, intact hoist room, elevator with attached ore bin, winches, lots of ore cars, muckers, slush bucket, cave-in, nasty busted timbers; well, you get the idea.

The material was worked to the bottom of the mine, where it was hauled up by the cage to the chutes that I showed marked "ore." From there, I lost track of the flow of ore, although I do know that it ultimately came out a haulage adit that has been completely buried from the outside. I didn't show it to try to keep the location private so the vandals don't suddenly appear. Thanks for the comment!👍😊

Hi Jim. I like talc mines for a couple of reasons, and I really dislike them for a few other reasons. They are very easy to light and get good video in compared to a dark colored mine. They usually have a lot of interesting timbering in them because of talc's brittle nature. I dislike the terrible dust, and as I mentioned, the brittle nature of talc causes frequent cave-ins. Talc rocks are very heavy and dense, and when they break free, they destroy everything in their path. Very dangerous. Thanks for the comment!👍😊

Hi William. Talc mines are easier to video than a darker mine because of the light color of the rock. They are also usually pretty interesting because of the necessity for a lot of timbering, as is the case in this one. They are dangerous, though. You're welcome. We're glad that you enjoyed it, and thanks for commenting!👍😊

Hi Al. Yes, it is a wild ride exploring this one. While I was going down that inclined ramp, a few rocks fell from the wall and started a pretty big slide that just kept building like a small avalanche.

@TomandJulieMineExploring Thank you. I've seen several mine explorers talk about them but never remember the era, now Gly from abandoned and forgotten places gets all gitty and excited. Now I full understand why, especially the one that are so well persevere and looks like they were put in yesterday. I love the 1800s to 1950ish mines I've seen on other channels where they have ever older mines. The more modern ones just don't set the same picture as the older ones. Open pit ones I truly dislike for many different reasons, main one is it destroyed the landscape views.

AMAZING EXPLORE - thank you. But a Q Seeing all that electrical panel stuff and the hoist, etc - and hearing you read out 480 volts - was this mine served by an electricity supply from power lines running across this geographic area (or perhaps intentionally run to the site) or from a massive generator located outside a mine portal? There must have also been a sizeable air compressor somewhere - either also run by an electricity supply or gasoline / diesel (steam). 🧨⛏🧨⛏🇬🇧
@TomandJulieMineExploring
@TomandJulieMineExploring 2 ай бұрын
I believe that there was power run to this area via cross country lines during the later stages of this areas mining operations. There has been mining going on in the general area since the late 1800s when the mines operating then would have used generators for power and air compressors powered by an internal combustion engine. Thanks for the comment!👍😊

Hello Tom and Julie. My goodness you two went on an amazing adventure with this one. I'm a little confused though? Did you have two different excursions into that mine or did I misunderstand? I do know one thing though I loved Julie's blue shoes . That mine was full of death traps and danger I think you're all lucky to get out of there alive. I couldn't believe how much equipment and whatnot we're on the bottom level. The hoist room in the bottom level was amazing ,I guess that was the bottom level again I might be confused . I think that mine has survived one or two or more quite severe earthquakes from the way that square set timbering was crushed. I love squart timber. anyway I'm glad you guys didn't get hurt with that little cave-in or you didn't get blocked in or something like that. Anyway thank you for an amazing journey with this one. And again as always please be safe take care of yourselves and your friends I enjoy going with you on these little trips thank you again very much.
