The Famous Gold Bottom Mine - Climbing Ladders To The Upper Levels (part 3 of 3)

In this video, we continue our exploration of the famous Gold Bottom Mine. In this final part of the series, we climb ladders into the upper part of this abandoned gold mine to find huge stopes and colorful mineral veins. The stopes were very unstable, and large rocks had fallen from high up, smashing the support timbers and making the area quite dangerous. We follow a waterline through the stope and into the mountain where we find more ladders, wooden ore chutes, and a possible route to an even higher level. The mine was discovered in the 1880s, and these upper ore bodies were mined before 1900. After 1900, the lower parts of the mine were worked. This three part series is all about the older upper workings. The underground workings of this gold, silver, lead, and copper mine are more than 7500 feet in length. It was still being worked in 1936 when the ore averaged 0.63 ounce of gold, 14.5 ounces of silver, 15.9 percent lead, and 0.6 percent copper per ton. We hope you have enjoyed this three part video series of this abandoned mine, and thank you for watching!
