The Candelabra Mine: Journey to the Heart of the Mountain, Part 2

[@captsavage3049]

This show is officially my new excuse for never getting anything done on Saturday mornings.

[@jossmaxwell00]

Right on Capt

[@andie_pants]

My lawnmower awaits. It can wait a few minutes longer. :-D

[@joanna5881]

Pretty much the same here except for me.. Saturday afternoons go a lot faster with Gly. ;-)

[@hw5706]

Bruh for real

[@laughterman805]

Always feel good

[@PSYCHOSAXE]

Hey gly, I don’t know who’s complaining about your camera placement but I’m constantly blown away by your attention to detail and the length you will go to show us things! Thanks for the great content

[@dangryder6050]

Agreed! I was watching some older videos and *just* noticed the flair on Old Bob's undercarriage! Very sneaky, Gly ;-)

[@napsome]

44:50 you missed the dynamite sticking out from the rock wall.

[@lavonnarosenbaum1720]

My husband loves to watch your channel. He would, however, like it if you would explain what types of ores were mined in each mine. We are in the east so we are not familiar with mines from the west. Thanks.

[@kevinbrennan2004]

You never fail to impress. By far, the best mine explore channel on You Tube.

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: Thank you very much!

[@exploringabandonedmines]

That was a fun explore. Nice to be dry and warm in a mine. I am missing the south!

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: Thanks! Yeah, ya gotta love dry mines! One more month and it’s time to head back to Arizona. Oh how I miss the choya cactus and bat poo. Lol

[@exploringabandonedmines]

@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces I still have video left that we shot last winter. I will have to get it edited and posted some day!

[@MrBillzebud]

Indeed, almost all of the mines here in BC are wet and cold.... although I did find almost an ounce of gold stashed in an old tobacco tin inside an old mine near Merritt many years ago so well worth the effort.

[@ianmcleod8898]

nice of the previous miners to leave explosives just laying around!

[@coopaloop9560]

I love how Mr. Coolness walk through the mines with very good quality filming explaining to us the veins of what the miners were going after. Other channels mine exploring and I'm not going to name any names but I do like them all they just kind of walk through and the videos not good I don't know whatever you're doing down there to make this footage so Flawless and also teaching us so much is it is absolutely priceless it is absolutely priceless. Thank you so much for putting this channel up and teaching us something new every single video at least one thing new. I see this channel going a very long way thanks Gly 😎. This channel rocks! Literally

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: Thank you very very much!

[@budinfield9064]

I agree. Gly is not a geologist but he knows a lot about the rocks and minerals. He makes the video entertaining as well as informative

[@wolfganger7012]

It's called editting

[@johnizitchiforalongtime]

Love it when the mine is so big, that makes for more episodes. This gets better and better. They removed tons of ore from this part of the mine. This mine is huge. How deep is that decline. Some people got rich. This was fantastic, awesome adventure, Thanks Gly, you sure don't stop pleasing your audience. Minus the old dynamite AKA Nitro Glycerin.

[@beverlyhanlon7575]

Bless you for even being there so we can see whatever we see.Thank you. CLY.

[@hawk6978]

I can't help but wish we could hear these miners stories!

[@davevoorhees5994]

I can’t ever get over the sheer amount of material that those mighty men, have removed!!! I have worked laying water and sewer mains, digging on the surface is one thing, but all that way down in the earth!!!! Thanks for your amazing videos!

[@remmiemax3624]

Gly, thank you for doing the "1-cheek sneak" to show us all the treasure in the lower parts!!!😎👍

[@zerofox7347]

Ive never seen a mine ladder so beautifully made as the one at 8:47 whoever made that spent time pride shaping those rungs👌

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: I agree! I didn’t notice those rungs until I started editing the video.

[@scottleidenberger4007]

I noticed that to. Never seen rungs made like that before .

[@NyanPoptartCat]

The historian in me is champing my teeth with curiosity about this person. Seems like there was an extra special *je ne sais quoi* about them. He stands out among the pack.

[@zerofox7347]

I bet they were quite a bit heavier. I'd love to know what the miners thought of them.

[@spidykat7188]

Land of the Lost. Boy that was a while ago. Getting old I guess. I love that show funny you brought it up. Thank you for another awesome video sir.

[@budinfield9064]

Gly, l wanted to let you know that you add a lot of joy to my life watching you explore. You've gotten a heck of a lot braver or crazier since your playin with Frank days! Anyway, thank you for your adventures. I say my safety prayers for you each week, as always be safe my friend! PS Randy take care of this old dude! Where the fun never ends!

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: Thanks! Well, I will admit that I take more chances when I know there’s somebody topside. Solo exploring requires me to throttle back a bit.

[@dcramer16]

Gly, let me tell you what makes your channel far superior to all the rest. You don't pause your camera and move around and unpause. From the moment you enter the mine, I am able to map the exact layout in my head, I know where all the drifts are that you have to come back too. You keep the camera rolling, and keep our situational awareness exact. Other channels, nope!! They pause, move somewhere else and resume recording and I have no idea where they are, or what the mine as a whole looks like. No clue at all, and for me that makes their channels not even worth watching. Sure, you pause all the time, and I am thankful you are starting to pause more while you climb ladders, sometimes that gets tedious to watch. But I never loose situational awareness, that takes skill on your part to keep your audience aware like that. Thanks for all your hard work, I wish I could start my own channel like this about the mines I know in Montana but I don't stand a chance to your polished shine! Your mine exploration channel is the best in the web hands down, and I look forward to every video. I think I caught this one within minutes of it getting uploaded. You're awesome dude!

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: Thanks Dan! Before starting this channel long ago when I would watch others explore mines that was one of the things that would frustrate me too. I never went to film school but it just seemed obvious that spacial awareness for your audience is important. Other aspects are proper lighting, camera stability, good audio and good camera discipline like not panning to fast from one subject to another. And thanks for your input! I do listen to my audience and that’s helped improve the channel tremendously.

[@astrol.com.br_astrologo]

complete agree, with all

[@davidbridges3292]

Hi there 🙂. For those who are curious about the Appalachian coal mines. In general, they're far more prone to gas build up than their western counter parts In this video, if you look closely. 🧐 You'll notice an occasional cigarette butt laying around. You'll never see that in an Appalachian mine. The miners took the most exordinary measures to ensure that no sparks of any kind were produced. 😬

[@Dinkum_Aussie]

12:30 am Sunday as I live in the future in Australia’! 🇦🇺 have to work today, but no way I am sleeping before watching this! Thanks mate! 😎👍

[@evilladollyz7602]

It's amazing when you think about how long it's been since any of those drifts actually saw a living person. I never complain about your camera placement I'm only here for your cute laugh. 🥰

“Gly”: 😊

[@colleenvarlow8764]

Thanks Gly, for another interesting journey. Keep staying as you are, and doing what you do so well, we love it.

[@raymondmysterious1555]

Best episode yet!!!! Thanks Gly!! (Oops...almost forgot Randy) Thank-you Randy!!

[@stevesidden9584]

It's always great show glad you point out things in the mind the way the rocks formation and the back and the face and the sides always very interesting to see what the old miners had to go through just to give us the things that we need and the freedom that we have may God always bless you and keep you safe in these places

[@daviddavis6291]

This is the best of all mine explorers, what a great job, love the talk companionship and explaining as you go, Good health, GOD protect and Bless.

[@judydavenport9636]

It took me a few weeks, but starting with your oldest video I've finally watched them all. And enjoyed each one . I can't wait to see more of your explore adventures.

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: Thanks Judy! It’s interesting to see how the channel has evolved isn’t it? I have big plans for the future and I’m just getting started.

[@mickie7873]

A very EXTENSIVE mine and you went and walked it all!!......well not the stopped areas, because they were numerous also. Quite a mine!! Can't get over the tenacity of those miners. Thats ALOT of earth to move. Apparently there was alot of mineral to be dug in the Candelabra. Thanks for showing us this big mine.

[@Askjeffwilliams]

great explanation....your terminology is getting better ..... might want to get rappelling equipment for added security and ability to go further ..." just an echo " hahahaha another analogy is waves on an ocean ....storm on top calm below ...a lot of survey markings .... good vein structure ...imagine working in that tight stope ....SLIM !!!!!!! could be a classifier ....wow a sleestak ....Giant was a very popular Brand back in the day ....so was Hercules and Atlas ....that is a Slusher ramp ....we have one in our drift mine ........old dynamite is not dangerous unless you see crystals or heavy oil on the out side or pooling up ....other then that it is inert unless you use a number 6 and even then it iffy .... good job sonny Jim on the vid ..... be safe out there

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: Thanks Jeff! When I saw that skinny stope I just knew Slim worked at this mine! Lol.

[@nicks.1615]

There was so much Nitro on that dynamite it was glistening. Stay safe dude!

[@richardalangriffith]

Again I'm impressed with your channel. This mine just kept going, I have no complaints about your video or commentary. I can only thank you for your efforts and time.

[@jimren5638]

Thank you for your descriptions of mining terminology. It makes things that much more interesting. I think your camera work is just fine, Gly. You pretty much cover all there is to see. Impressive how huge that mine is as you went deeper. I'm surprised that there were no bats in there. Wow that lil' bunny wandered in there, probably got lost in the dark and never found his way out. Poor little guy. What a great mine! Absolutely huge and cool artifacts. Thanks, Gly. Stay safe.

[@MrPhamilton]

this mine must have the most ladder lying around i seen so far think someone was having fun making them

[@michaelcsiti3476]

im disabed and would have never gotten the chance to see the stuff where you go. Thanks to you, ppl like me can finally have that ability too! Keep up the amazing work Gly!

Great explore and pretty extensive mine, thanks for taking us there. 6K new subscribers that's awesome

This mine sure had a lot to offer- so many twists, turns, up and downs. Amazing!

[@Tom-cy5em]

Hi Gly thats some good looking samples you got their and thank you guys for taking us along. Looking forward to the next adventure and of course sharing on my FB page, O yeah I never seen so many ladders and most of them looked in very good shape. Stay safe out their and good eye on finding all that dynamite Im glad it was all in one place.

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: In the area with the dynamite on the floor there’s a stick in the wall with what appears to be a live blasting cap stuck in it. I didn’t notice it until I started editing the video.

[@kiprice8327]

I am watching these videos and it is hard to imagine that people actually created these places. All those timbers and planks. Back then, they didn't have hardly any technology to dig through rock like that. Man, simply amazing...all those those supports up in the 25" places. What do you think miners of of that era got paid for a day of that kind of work? They didn't have LED's then, so how in the world did they do it? It is all really amazing...thanks for showing us. Geezz!

[@Cigar_Ghost]

Just when you think, you've seen one mine you've seen them all, this pops up. This was absolutely captivating :) !!!

Just want to say again again: These are fantastic, fun, educational. My granpa mined, and he would have just loved this. I like that I get to see what the inside of his mine may have looked like. Keep your head and eyes pointed where they need to be to stay safe. We'll be fine.

Very cool mine, might just be me but the angles of the ore layers gives it a Escheresque feeling. Thanks for the upload, its great being able to see these places.

[@SueGirling68]

Hi Gly, thanks for getting things straight about an incline and a decline as it has always confused me. A very very cool mine, who would have thought it was as extensive as it was, wow. Thank you so much for taking us along on this awesome journey deep into this amazing location, much love. xx💖🤘

[@loyalkuhn5778]

More beautiful gobbing by the rail. The work is almost artistic. Beauy of a vein there- winzes, stopes, and pillers, oh my !! Next level, going down the rail - awesome mineralization !! I'd be pulling pillers and back filling as well. Very interesting arched rungs on some of those ladders !!! Would love to have samples of the vanadinite. Sorry to see the bottom of the decline shaft, but yet another level is great... Awesome tour of the Candlelabra Mine !!! As usual, great video work !!

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: Yes, they were definitely backfilling some of those stopes and removing pillars. Must have been some rich ore.

[@jacobkuykendall5380]

One thing I really enjoy on your show is the quartz crystals

21:43 Hey, that’s my hometown (Stockton, CA)! The Fibreboard Paper Plant had different incarnations throughout its history, last becoming the Newark Sierra Paperboard Corp. The plant closed in 2003 after 85 years in business. The company cited California’s strict rules and regulations as the reason for its sudden closure - some 130 people reportedly lost their jobs without being told or warned of the plant’s imminent closure. The old buildings and infrastructure are still around, and most ironic, a modern paper recycling facility operates in the space today.

[@sonny1597]

You folks got me started in mine exploration .. although I use to do it as a kid back in the iron ore mines of Minnesota .. before the open pit mines it was all underground and many of the old adits we could get into .. and we did! Even had my own carbide lamp my dad gave me .. batteries were too expensive .. can of calcium carbide was $1.50. So now I'm doing it again .. just been to a few of the talc mines in Death Valley and have found a few around Tucson where I live. Because I am by myself usually I take the precautions that you all tell us about .. trying to get volunteers! LOL

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: Please be safe out there! Oh yes, I spent a small fortune on batteries when I was younger. That’s why Eveready is still in business. Lol
