600 Year Old GIANTS Found In The BACKCOUNTRY Of British Columbia

Hey everyone!
Thank you for watching today’s video. Today, we’re heading out to explore a mine on the other side of Chilliwack Lake. This is definitely a beautiful area with lots of history. This mine is an old silver mine called The Silver Chief Mine and is located in the Chilliwack River Ecological Reserve which is a stone throw away from the U.S boarder. This mine was discovered in 1916 by Chief Sepass who named the mine, he also helped the miners with transporting them across the lake with their supplies. We hope you enjoy the video and if you do give it a big thumbs up! 👍
A sample of quartz vein taken in 1923 yielded 1.37 grams per tonne gold, 1508.58 grams per tonne silver and 1.8 per cent copper (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1923, page 262).
By 1930, a tunnel had been driven for about 6 metres on the west seam, then a crosscut was made to the east seam which was then drifted on for 10.7 metres. In 1926, it is reported that 1 tonne of ore was mined and 3577 grams of silver and 22 kilograms of copper recovered.

I first visited that mine in 1976 and I know the full history of that mine. The mine owner was a a very good friend of my dad, and I spent many days listening to his stories of how got into mining. I figured out where you were seconds into your video.

[@AdventuresRUs]

We’ve heard a lot about the area since we’ve posted the video and hope to go back to look for a few more things. It’s a beautiful area with some great stories for sure. I bet you have some great memories of your time up there!

[@TheDisabledGamersChannel]

My goodness that is some drop dead gorgeous countryside out there, great video.

[@AdventuresRUs]

[@AdventuresRUs]

Hi Adam & Chyanne, absolutely stunning scenery you were driving and hiking through, wow. Those trees were amazing to see, thank you for sharing. I am starting to feel like myself again, the March 7th blood test showed I have 50% kidney function, I did have another test on 6th April so we will see from those results if I am doing better. xx💞

[@AdventuresRUs]

Hello Sue, That is really worrisome news, but we’re glad that you’re feeling a little better!! Keep us posted on the results and we’ll be thinking of you ❤️

[@SueGirling68]

@@AdventuresRUs The 50% is actually awesome because I was taken into hospital with I'm told 12% function. I am fairly sure that I am back to near normal limits now. xx ❤

[@blueman5924]

Myself and a good friend hiked this exact spot about a month ago. We made it to the old growth ecological reserve. We enjoyed following bobcat tracks and were delighted to encounter a bobcat on our way out.

[@AdventuresRUs]

Very cool to see that! We were up that way a few weeks prior to that visit and followed some bobcat tracks along the lake, there must be a healthy population up there :)

[@markhedekar4880]

@@AdventuresRUs Yes, when we were there, there was about a foot of fresh snow. Bobcat tracks were everywhere so I wasn't surprised to see a cat.

[@douglas.turner]

Always great to follow you on an adventure, thank-you! Those trees are something special...

[@AdventuresRUs]

Hello Douglas! Nice to hear from you:) Hope you’re doing well and enjoying some time with family this long weekend😀

[@heithdotysadventures7824]

That can at the very end with all the holes in it has all the characteristics of being a stove today's words used are the hobo stove. Nice little setup they had their wonder why they stopped the vein look pretty choice thanks for taking us along

[@AdventuresRUs]

Hello! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the can and you’re probably right!! Not sure why they stopped working on the property, maybe they found better ground somewhere else?

[@Bushguyrocks]

Hi Heith!

[@jimmyjames2022]

Cool! I'm wondering if that tin can with the holes was an old 'hobo' stove from before the latest fancy backpack stoves. Stick a sterno can in the big hole on the bottom, cook on the top. Can't have a regular camp fire as the duff is too thick.

[@AdventuresRUs]

Smart! You very well could be right!! Thanks for sharing your thoughts :)

[@Bushguyrocks]

I like all the old mines, big and small. Glad to see Heith follows your adventures. Will you be in the Kamloops area next weekend by any chance?

[@AdventuresRUs]

Hey Ron. We won’t be back to the Kamloops area for a couple weeks. There’s a couple mines in the Little Fort area we want to explore, but we’ll wait a bit until the snow has some time to melt.

[@Bushguyrocks]

@Adventures R Us That's too bad. Doing the Maxine this weekend. Would be nice if you filmed it.

[@AdventuresRUs]

Haven’t heard of that one, but will take a look. Have fun but be safe!
