 I see a large over bin. Good morning, mine explorers. Good morning. Tom and Julie here. We're out and about again. Looks like we have a mine in front of us. We're walking down a rail bed. Either went between a couple of the workings up here or might have been a narrow gauge that went all the way down and hooked up with a bigger trail track somewhere else. That's what I think it is. So I see a couple of waste piles ahead of us. Let's go further up here and see what's up. This is up above the ore bin. There must have been a trestle that ran over to the to the bin to dump the ore in. Pretty good wall of rock right there too. Behind us is a huge rock wall. I don't know what's going on up there. We better go find out. See if we can decipher what's been done up here. Well, this is the view from a little higher up. There's a large equipment pad over there and several openings here. And also this area has been stripped out a little bit. I guess we have to go a little closer. Okay, let's go and look in one of these openings and see what we have. This mine was started in 1913. It's a gold mine. And it looks like it's been stripped out some since then. There's a big room here. Look at all the shoring over there. Let's go look over this way. It's hard because your eyes don't adjust very quickly, do they? Look at the nest. Alright, that's wandered on into this stope and see what's going on. What do you see down here? The shaft? Oh, that's why that hoist was out there. I can't see the bottom. There's a nest up there. You do have to watch your step with some of these pits around here and shafts. A bit of vein above you. It's a pastel again and then there's a big flat surface straight over here with another shaft. You don't slide in there, do you? Actually, that turns turns into a little flatter angle. It goes straight for about 30 feet, 25 feet. That flattens on. Let's see what's over this way. Real maze of workings, isn't it? It's different than most of the mines we see, isn't it? Oh, look over here. There's a big killer. We can go a little further down on that stope. Let's look over here first, though. What did you see down here? It's looking straight up. So sure is an interesting looking area, isn't it? I'll do the slow pan across here. All right, let's enter this stope. It's a fairly shallow angle, so not real hard to navigate it. I don't know what you're gonna find. No, you gotta watch out. You're falling on these holes. You don't really want to do that. Another big pillar right there. Here's some track. Ladder? Did somebody say ladder? It's a ladder, but there must be a little something going on down below us here. We could try and call down there. I'm a little wounded still, but let's go this way and follow the tracks for a minute. See what happens. I think we better go up here, don't ya? Here's the beginning and end of the tracks. And it looks like it dumps down into a bore chute or a pass of some sort. I see a wooden chute down there. Well, let's follow the tracks and see what happens. Fairly large stope. Taking a hard left. There's parts of a downway box. Tracks go that way for a way. What's happening this way? Let's take this right. Let me know what happens up there. Please. Keep going. I'm coming. Here's a big hanger peg. Here's some large water pipe. There's the face of this little area. Oh yeah, there's another up working. We had their stoper drill out for that. You can see the drill holes going straight up. Okay, we're back out of that area. Let's follow the tracks more. There is a big stope up here too. I don't see the obvious vein here, really. At least not a major one. Apparently there was, though. Somebody's been doing some burning. For some reason. Oops. I was trying to be so quiet. Looks like we're coming to an end. A period end. Never know, though. Here's somebody from 1957. Our Montfred. Montfred. Here's a ladder going up, only part way. I'm sure I just tried to burn this mine up, haven't I? There's fires all over the place. Okay, well, let's get back out of here. Here's Montfred again. I'm up in a stope here. This is that burned area where that ladder was down below. We just saw. It's down there. This is the end of the stope. You can see it's kind of suited out up here. Julie, stay down there. We'll try to give you some scale of this stope. There she is. Now you can see how how big that is. Okay, you can see how far away Julia is over there. That's looking across about half of this stope, because I've already come through the half behind me. Okay, that's where I just came from. We're back to the track area. I guess this is the main, that big, flat hanging wall. I guess it would be. Interesting mine. I'm wondering if there's another entrance below here for a haulage, because where would they haul this out to? This is back to that chute. All right, Julie's going to brave this little area here. I could go down there, but I'm a little dinged up. Plus, I just took a nice spill. Ain't easy getting old, is it? Is your hair going through there? Yeah, it's going in. I can't see much. I can see the ground right there. Yeah, but you won't be able to get back up. I think so. We can sit in the ladder down there. Shoot where? It is? All right, I'll be down. Tom's going to come down the chute that I just came down. A little birdie buck at it. Dust on in. All right. We slid down that chute. I tried to get away from the dust over here, but I didn't really get far. So it doesn't go too far to the left as we came down. It comes to this big chute and stops. And this goes back up where we came from before. This is back where we came from. We came down this chute right here. So we're in a little lower stop level. That's to the right. This is to the left. This is straight. Well, where do you want to go? That has an arrow like it's going to go out. Let's go look at the ladder real quick. Boy, is it powdery down here? Yeah. That just ends right there. Another chute coming up. That is plug solid. What do you see there? It goes to a chute and it ends. I'll come and take a shot of it. This is back to another chute. This is one I think we looked down. And I'm up above. So we haven't been that way yet. Let's go this way. Another big chute here. Number eight or number one, depending on which area you are in. Real stoke maze, isn't it? Yeah. Here's some groundfall. Just a little pocket on the right here. Kind of a spidery web vein here, isn't it? Okay, we initially came from that way. This will be taken a right. Okay, let's take the right here again. That was a right on the right. Here's your million-dollar pair of jeans. Here's the honey pot. Nope, just a fuel can. And the face of a drift. What did you find? Okay, we're backtracking. This is where we came from. Up that way. See where this goes. Okay. I think we found another way out of here. Rather than going back up that chute. And now we're back up to the level we started on. There's your ladder over there. There's your ladder over there. As usual, we do stuff the hard way the first time. Well, it's been an interesting explorer, hasn't it? Yeah, unusual. Different than a lot of the ones we see more stoping. All right, let's check this out. I just crawled through that little hole. I told Tom I'd look at it first before he came through here. Just goes a little ways and it ends. A little timbering. Not much, though. So not worth it for him to come through. Which you never know. All right, I'm going to head back. That looks like it was a post for an anvil. Maybe this was the blacksmith's shop. Look at the beautiful asters. Purple asters. Look at those. Wow. Pretty, huh? A lot of yellow flowers out now, too. And action! Thanks for watching the video today, you guys. I hope you enjoyed it, and we'll see you on our next adventure. All right, thank you, Julie.
