I find it curious that! the old timers find these veins on mountain sides in the middle of nowhere ! And build the trusses by hand and rail and ore shuts as well,with only hand tools!

Sorry Russell I missed your comment. It is pretty crazy what those guys did back in the day. This mine was built before the road was even in there which would of made things even more complicated. Would of been an interesting life roaming those wild places.

I really wonder too though, before TNT, how it was done, mining itself that is.. I've read about building a fire on top an outcrop, pouring fuel etc.. cracking the rock by fire, other methods, feather wedge etc.. but.. to find the veins, you can either follow float up to the vein, or loam for gold, pan section by section up the hill, until you find which direction/the source of the gold.
