The main adit
The first 15 feet of the adit is stone lined.
Inside, the tunnel features full trackage intact.
In the late 1800's, ore cars were pulled by horse through here.
An inspection of a small stope leading off to the left of the tunnel.
Eventually the tunnel reaches a large room with a winze sunk 200 feet deep, now drowned.
The winze is carefully examined.
Looking into the deep winze.
Yet another stope is discovered.
The stulls of the stope can be seen. The tunnel continues past here to the main stope reaching a final distance of approximately 800 feet!
