Hi William. There are definitely some large stopes in this one. I think that most talcum powders are processed to remove any harmful substances. I know there have been some problems with the powders, though. Thanks for the comment!😁

Hello Tom and Julie. It's wonderful to see you out again, and how are my two favorite desert rats today?looks to me like you found a very interesting mine there. Was that a chalk mine or a talcum mine? And that's certainly was a large shoot, I guess they had to have it for that material. Anyway it looks like there's lots of places the person could get hurt in that thing, it's always fun to go along with you two on your explorations. Keep up the good work, have fun, and above all stay safe.

Talc mines have always given me the creeps. They are so unstable. That ore shoot looks familiar - dusting off an old memory, though I have not been in the mine. Thank you for showing me the inside. Haven't done much mine exploring this year. Last I was in was out towards Thompson Canyon. There were so many people there it looked as if someone had kicked an ant hill. Something that just popped into my head: I wonder if there is any asbestos in the talc deposits? Now I think of that after breathing all that dust from the ones I have been in. Take care.
