The road was built to serve the mine. There was no mill so the ore would have been either hauled to the mill at another mine on the other side of the mountain or to the mill at Bisbee and then to the Douglas smelter. The mine operated from 1914 to 1953 and produced Zn, Cu, Pb, Mo, Ag, Au, Bi, Be, Li, Cd, Ga, Co, W, wollastonite, and asbestos. The wide variety of metals was why I was hoping to find fluorescent rocks there but I think the copper killed it. Copper is a notorious fluoresotoxin®.
Not at this one. The mine had rail at one time but it is long gone. Timber ore chutes and a few supports are still there. The miners tended to pull all the metal on the way out when they abandoned a mine. They could reuse it at the next mine.Pretty cool. Is there any infrastucture left? Any cool old industrial artifacts to find?
