Here's the link to part 2
• Opening an Abandoned M...
In 1872, Henry DeBardeleben and his father- in-law, Daniel Pratt, formed a partnership to purchase the Red Mountain Coal and Iron Company, changing the name to Eureka Mining and Transportation Company. In 1873. DeBardeleben sent his mine engineer, Joseph Squire, from the Helena Mines to Red Mountain to rebuild the Oxmoor Furnace, that was destroyed during the Civil War, to find and open iron ore mines and to connect the mines to the furnace using a tramway.
The Eureka #2 mine, featured in this video, was opened in 1873 and operated under the Eureka Company until the 1890s when they merged with TCI, Tennessee Coal and Iron Company. In 1907, US Steel acquired Tennessee Coal and Iron Company and changed the name of the mine from Eureka 2 to Ishkooda 13.
The Ishkooda 13 mine was open until the 1950s with all of the US Steel iron ore mines on the mountain being closed by the 1960s.
On this video, we are uncovering and reopening this mine, not to mine iron ore, but to explore and document this almost 150 year old mine.

Though, recently some guys using a disc cutter on a very similar mine seal wall caused a methane explosion, it completely blew the 20 tonne concrete wall over, lucky no one was killed, that was methane gas Then going down you should consider the heavier than air gasses?

Sir, a few months ago I explored this mine through an caved in entrance. I had equipment with me. A slot light. A few bottles of water. And a knife if need be. I recorded my entire explorative trip. I was on the opposite side of the mountain on which you dug that NO-13 out. The mine went extremely deep. At the time I didn’t know too much of its history. Today I do. I wasn’t aware it went two miles deep. About an hour into walking further and further down it gets to the point every direction you look is another path way. Just stone pillars holding it all up. Wood rotted away. Railways remaining. Collapsed stone and some paths collapsed. It was by far the most dangerous explorative abandoned place I’ve did in my life. You can even see water coming from the walls in some areas. If you are interested. I can send you everything I have recorded when I went down. I don’t have any real use of it. I do it for a gig but it seems you do this for a living.

Someone should pay attention to the way that mine was cemented and bricked up with limestone. It's actually very ornamental and traditionally used for burial grounds. I'm guessing a lot of people (professional miners) died in there. I hope you know what you're doing! WARRNING : It's not worthwhile venture if you're going to get yourself killed in there. Proceed with absolute caution!!!

Im glad we have a different mind set on places like this now instead of covering them in dirt and pouring concrete on them we look to preserve the entrances for historical preservation and hiking. I wonder when it was originally sealed in concrete/and filled in with dirt?
