So what do we know about the Secret Mining Camp? Actually very little.
This mine
dates back to the turn of the century. When we drove up to the mine we met
the owner of the mine and a friend of his, they were repairing the gate
across the road to the mine with portable welding equipment.
I have found a couple of references to this mine; deep in the Carlyle Mine
on one of it's levels; a Mr. Cross gives the name of this mine along with
his address, and also I have read about a Bill Biever hiking to this
mine to get a lift to town because his Olds had broken an axle 5 miles
away from this mine back in 1910. |
