10:17 That timber was burned before it was set; the wedge is clean, and there's no soot. There's definitely some burning happening back around the winze and ore chute (could even be accidental, hot bearings make sparks), but some of these charred timbers were burned outside first, lightly. Forest fire? Damaged in transit? No idea, but the 10:17 one definitely didn't burn *there*. It's actually charred in a pattern like it was on the ground and got burned over.

I'd say the original miners had an accidental fire -- from where it looks like it started, probably a cooking fire, or maybe a lamp that got away from them, and that's why so much of the original timber is charcoaled. Note that there is newer timber on top of the charcoaled stuff, which pegs the fire before the mine's new life in the roaring 20s. Regardless, an amazing testament to the men who dug it.

19:47 this scene makes me think how many gemstones they left looking for gold there's far more currency in rocks than metal. if Russia was to actually take their rocks out of the ground and put them to market they would crash the price of stones overnight the uber-wealthy of the world would turn their back on Russia as a result. plentiful; doesn't begin to describe it, war isn't just fought with bombs and boom sticks. corner one market and they all fall like dominos. they destroy diamonds for that very reason. to keep the price and entry-level high. they? the marketer's mere privateers. I get that THEY question all the time it's ' for you to know. you won't paint me in a corner with that one. learn. stones all come from deep in the earth gold as well she makes them...earth. they would capture the market. the result being they would control it in perpetuity. those playing the long game could see the value in that. there are a lot of dead people controlling things from the grave. 501c3,4,5, and so on. dead people don't just vote. for only existing on paper it has a lot of teeth. they will use them if you step on the wrong toes. think you can't buy things with diamonds? think again. the waist rock would build cities. BIG cities. people died often getting that crap out of the ground. digging a well was a big ordeal in the day and you look at this with that thought in mind and it leaves you gobsmacked with your palm firmly pressed against your forehead in wonder. good as they were, our forbearers horribly wasteful. but where would we have been without them? God bless them for our sake. [I can affirm nowhere good.] it has been said "time enough to sleep when you are dead", you can see how the phrase was coined no matter if you know the origin or not. the most valuable currency in the world "Laber". the ''banks of a river must flow. maritime is the rule of the day

Yes, it did. The only problem is that this mine was worked before Marilyn was even born.
