Every straight or angled shaft is an elevator or tram way no packs to It. Miners are smart and do not do anything the hard way.
I have the most respect for anyone willing to go in small tight places underground for gold! Too scary for me. Great video Jeff, film crew and everyone who participated in the video!
Nothing but smiles and laughs when watching Jeff!!! Simply the best out there and yet I learn so much as well. Keep it up and thank you! My 9 year old son loves your shows as well!

Jeff should mine and sell his energy and enthusiasm. He’d be rich on that alone, I’d pay. He’s probably just as funny drunk lol.
Remember the Andy Griffith show where the goat ate the dynamite? Otis dragging loaded goat out of his cell. Thats after he thinks he falling off bed onto wall. Anyways....
You’re smart for using king studs and stringers to construct that new ladder.

Jon is an AMAZING guy. When Jeff and Jon get together the geology knowledge flows like water out out of a fire hose!
My brother was a geologist in south Dakota and in the early 80s I got to go inside the Gilt edge mine before they turned it into an open pit it was just as it was left in the 1800s I was standing in front of an old ore chute and my brother said he doesn't like standing there because of the 100 year old lumber that was holding back all the rock unfortunately after that I couldn't wait to get out of there, there was also an old stamp mill and some old buildings with a huge compressor old picks shovels ore cars and track the original shaft went down around 400'.

I hope someone rescues the dynamite boxes and the older tools that hav3 been there since the beginning of that mine. That stuff is really important to the future of mining. It would give the newer miners an indication of what the old timers went through all for gold.

@@Askjeffwilliams That's what it looked like to me. Where you 1st showed the little "stope" on the level you went in on you were standing on a pile. Under that pile,under the track is where the old-timer told me they intercepted another vein. I'm assuming that the guys that were working that later went up. He told me it was like a thumb of a hand and they cut thru it. That stope thats now open there at the end of the switch in the rail used to be solid. Just a little hole down close to the bottom of that drift. Now I see it's all open,and they punched thru to the old stope.Once again he wasn't listening to the old-timer. What a dufas.I'm assuming you made it to the bottom. Carl did say they were never finished out there. Had a big fire down at the mill. The war act.Etc.

Those tongue and groove wood Hercules Dynamite boxes are pretty scarce. The law required miners to destroy the empty cases. Nitro soaked wood burns real good.

We just didn't have enough rope this trip to get down to those lower levels. In preparation for heading further down, we cleaned up around the ladderway since there were dangerous timbers and rocks . Next trip we will take an extra rope along with us. By the time you get 350 to 400 feet of rope on your pack, it starts to get pretty heavy. :-)
Awesome mine tour and explanations if what the miners were doing and thinking. Great friends.

How were you able to find that escape hatch that led you to the man ladders in that shaft to get out? First you are squeezing through a small hole you dug out and the next scene you were up the ladders and out of the mine. Sheer luck? calculated guess? Tommy Nocker guiding your way? Miner's GPS? Scratching my head on that one. Cool adventure though, Thanks for letting us come along, Rik

11:33 minute looks like a pocket of silver if I’m not mistaken Jeff Williams
