I've been on Vancouver Island many times. My wife grew up there. It's heavy timber and rugged terrain. Actually you could call it rain forest. Lots of growth and it grows quite fast. Thanks for watching. New video every Saturday.

You're welcome. Thanks for stopping in.

Thanks for watching

Appreciate you stopping by and watching. Thanks!

I was reading a story about Blair and it mentioned that they moved the mill to California and set it back up. Not sure if it was the same guys or not.

@@oldlostminer never even heard of a mill that size...imagine moving it one piece at a time ...someone was too wealthy and too greedy. feel sorry for the pack animals... who were the real unsung workers of that era..

Glad you enjoyed the story, thanks for watching!

Nevada does have some pretty lucrative lithium mines and claims. Thanks for watching.

I'm pretty sure you could live there. Might even to be able to get a job at the lithium mine. Thanks for watching!

Appreciate you stopping by! Have yourself a great weekend also.

They use to mine the Oyster River just outside of Campbell River. Zeballos had the Privateer Mine which was a pretty rich gold mine also. Myra Falls Mine is/was pretty rich. Thanks for watching.

It is interesting once you read into these old mines. I'm just finishing another video here where George Hearst was involved in. Seems like he owned almost every mine in Arizona, Nevada and California at one time or another. Thanks for stopping by today.

Thanks for stopping by Flash! Always appreciated.

Curious which tungsten mine that was. All I ever found was buckshot, nails and pull tabs. LOL Thanks for watching. Appreciate it!!

Most of the tungsten in AZ is associated with magnetite, AND other REE, with this mine was there a lot of tailings, working on the addits should have produced a lot of material, assayers office would be able to get a good analysis of the minerals left over from the construction, most of the Old timers had tunnel vision and looking for just one thing, nowadays The tailings are more valuable than the stuff from the shafts.

@@oldlostminer it’s called the Zannaropolis mine. It was founded in 1941 when a miner named John Zannaras was looking for gold. He found Tungsten Zinc and Copper. Due to the war these metals were in high demand. When he died in the 1980’s the mine was willed to the Greek church and in 1998 a bunch of guys bought the property and the mine from the Church. Our property is about 5 miles from the open pit copper mine in the town of Bagdad.

@@rogerhanson3468 yes we have mounds of tailings, 200 foot deep vertical mine shaft. but most of it doesn’t look very interesting but I’m not a geologist. We want to send a camera down to see if there are horizontal shafts but the problem is it’s halfway filled with water.

@craigthescott5074 try something simple, get some UV light, multiple spectrum, because different minerals glow at different wavelengths, most are pretty cheap and shine it in the shaft, use a GoPro and record what you get then you'll be able to analyze the light spectrum from a safe place, shafts are notorious for gas buildup, especially CO2 and carbon monoxide, safety first rewards later.

Thanks for watching!

Arizona is a very interesting place for sure. Thanks for watching. New video every Saturday.

I have detected a bit throughout AZ in some of these areas but you know there is a LOT of trash. Tons of nails, buckshot, old tin and other scrap junk. I think you got into the upper portions of the washes to have any luck. If you're old like me you'll want to have an ATV also to get way out off the beaten path. Anything close gets picked over pretty good . Thanks for watching today. Always appreciate all you regular folks. Have a great weekend.

Thanks for watching. Have a GREAT weekend!

Thanks for watching this morning! Appreciate it.

Thanks for that bit of family history this morning. Always interesting to hear about folks who are familiar with these old places. Thank you for watching too. Always appreciated! Have a great weekend.

You are welcome. Thanks for watching!

Yes you are correct. We have been made aware of this error. However after closer investigation, records show that the wagon train originated from Arkansas. Thank you.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
