Legend has it that there are literally hundreds of mine shafts all over Ouray, Silverton, Telluride.

We live about 1 1/2 hours away from Ouray. We just LOVE that town!!!
-
@lampmanone Thanks for the name. Now I will know! Very cool! I had no idea it was a working mine up until the 60s!
-
it was 1962 my mistake it was not 72.
The original name was, campbird, the King family leased it for 99 years, it was called (The King Lease.)
-
@lampmanone That's so cool! What is the name of that mine? I always wondered. And how did you access it? That mine was functioning all the way up until 1972?
-
Yes, I worked in the mine, also at the Beaumont hotel. I was 17 years old, traveling to the United States.
Love is so much stayed 6 months.
I have been back several times, also worked in the mine in 1972.

@lampmanone Do you mean you worked in that mine, or just Ouray in general?
-
I worked there when I was 17, 1951. I revisit Ouray quite often.

@davemoore52266 Yes, been there over a 100 years...there are tons of old structures like this just clinging to the canyon walls...really amazing stuff. One of them you have to hike 13 miles to get to...
