This is a mine explorers dream; it starts with a great hike high above Death Valley, and once at the mine site, there are more mining artifacts than we have ever seen in one natural location. Given the remote location of this gold mine and lack of roads leading to it, it's no surprise that it's in such great condition. The hike to it isn't easy either, but it's well worth it.
This huge quartz deposit containing gold was first discovered in 1904, and the mine was worked until 1912. It lay idle from 1912 to 1935. Most of the work at the mine took place from 1935 to 1937. There were eight men employed here in 1936. The last year of operation was 1941.
This is a complete mining operation, including the milling and gold extraction process, as well as the production of the ore. There are also two trams here to move the ore as necessary to the rock crusher, ball mill, and leaching tanks. There are numerous other pieces of equipment like two tram cars, a rock drill, two ore cars, a large generator, wheel barrows, and a big scale, to name a few.
There is a Mack truck here that was winched up and down the very steep cable road bringing in equipment, men, and supplies.
