Thanks for watching, Sonny Jim. I don’t know why the wheels disappear from mine cars so often. I think that in some of the remote mines of the early days the miners repurposed the wheels and left behind the car that might have been too bulky to move. If you have the wheels you can make a wood box for an ore car, like you did. Most times though I think they are re-sold or scrapped. It's a shame that people do things like that.

The Justrite felt packing box looks like it held one dozen replacement felt disks for the Justrite carbide lamp that the miners wore on their helmets. The felt disk fits between the upper water chamber and the lower carbide chamber on the lamp. The acetylene gas produced could pass through the felt to the nozzle of the lamp while filtering out the carbide residue. The same felt disk would work in the Autolite lamps and maybe other brands as well. My grandfather had one of these lamps, I have a picture of him wearing a carbide lamp while standing in front of an adit to his California gold mine.

Tom and Julie, it is easy for me to sit here on my swivel chair in front of my PC and make suggestions. You will be familiar with TVR exploring, they went up to the Kennecott mine in Alaska, after I mentioned the mine to them, but that could just be coincidence. Apparently there are 70 miles of underground workings, all sealed it seems. One of the richest copper ore bodies ever at that time. There are very, very few photos, of the workings. What a challenge, what a chance to document a seriously historical mine? If a serious group of explorers could persuade the whoever the present custodians are to allow a serious group to enter and make records that would serve history very well.

I don't exactly understand it myself. The wheels do have value and are probably sold. The miners might have repurposed them, too. Thanks for the comment, Dale!

Thank you, Tony. While seeing stressed or broken timbers is concerning, most mines will have at least one, if not several, areas that have such timbers. Appreciate the comment!👍

The sumps are always deep because miners are afraid of drowning If you ever cut in to an underground stream.

That makes sense. Plus, the water used for drilling has to go somewhere. You can see the high water mark in this sump. Thanks for commenting, Mark!👍😄

You can't see the forest for the trees! They must have found a lot of copper to put in all that infrastructure. Speaking of copper, the color always reminds me of pieces of the sky that have fallen and are hidden n in the earth

I wonder why the mine was filled with water, then is dry??? Sure would be nice to know. Another great mine video!!
@TomandJulieMineExploring
@TomandJulieMineExploring Жыл бұрын
One possibility is that the water used in the mine for drilling collected at the bottom in the sump. That would seem like a lot of water though. Maybe they hit groundwater level which has since lowered? Good question, Steven. 👍👍

Hi there! Just curious and I just have to ask this question. Watched this episode and this mine went in every direction imaginable but you still found your way out. Most people would have gotten lost, I know i would of. Sooo, my question is did you and Julie have GPS implant surgery? Wonderful footage of the mine, that massive headwall and all those nice ladders. Be safe and take care

Haha, no GPS implants. I think it looks more confusing in a video than it is in real life. Glad you enjoyed the explore and thanks for the funny comment. 👍👍

I had the strangest dream the other night. It was me and a guy walking through a field and we found a couple of artifacts. I don't want to tell you how it ended. Just let me know if this sounds familiar. We found something made od bone- round in shape and what looked like coins- until we were stopped

Not really. Mines do often have some weird noises coming from them. I'm guessing it's usually from rocks falling or timbers creaking as the ground shifts slightly.👌
