Molly Kathleen Gold Mine

Original Mine Shaft Entrance

Removing the Ore

Gold Vein

Ore Carts

Air Train

Very tight quarters, going down 1000 feet!

At least the entrance we took was better than this!

The oxidized gold ore in this vein is rich enough that once the price of gold goes past a certain point, the mine will be reopened.

These ore carts are pushed by hand. (Nate did it.)

An underground train run by compressed air (you don't want exhaust down there) moves around the mine.
