I took my ex-girlfriend here today for her birthday and had a FUN day.
The tour was only $15 and they let you pan their stream for the rest of the day included. I hope to do Argo Mine next. Here are some pics from the Phoenix. Some old "widow-makers" I tried to escape through another shaft with this wheelbarrow full of goodness but this is as far as I got, I need a map of this mine...... -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!

Weak!!! Never mind. I don't want to work barrels. Thanks for the info! I went on the Argo tour during the 04' rally we had there, I thought it was very interesting. Very cool equipment!! The barrels are cut in half long ways and placed on a stand for everyone to pan from. Not many can say they dredged there can they Russ (not allowed)......but we were ones that were allowed. -------------------- Education is the key to the future,
