The Sutro Tunnel is just outside of Virginia City and if you have never been there then you need to get go and see what the great Folks of the Sutro Foundation are doing to preserve our history. They have been working tirelessly for Years to preserve some of the most iconic structures Virginia City has and you will see that in this video. If you love History like I do then donate your time, skills or a couple bucks to help " Keep the Dream Alive " .... they would greatly appreciate it and it would help so much. Just click the link to get started. Thanks. thesutrotunnel.org/
Jeff, you say they are now open to the public. Are there regular days/hours they are open during the week, or is it hit or miss like the hoist engine? I'll be in Reno for a reunion the first week of October, and since some in the group are talking about a visit to Virginia City, well the tunnel ain't that far away!
My aunt and uncle used to live in Carson City and move to Placerville. My uncle was a retired Woodshop teacher and would perform volunteer blacksmithing at Sutter's Mill. I spent many summers in Placerville as a kid and traveling down to sutter's mill working in the blacksmithing shop with him. this whole area reminds me of Sutter's Mill as a kid on summer break.
Grade A + Work on the Sutro Tunnel, and also Thank You Mr. Williams for bringing the results of their fine work to our attention. Fine Job Jeff. What a wonderful Idea to repair the Sutro Tunnel.
I'll tell ya Jeff, I got all jacked up on this one! First the Sutro Tunnel, a road map into history. How awesome! Think of the gold and silver still down there. Then, you give the best class of classifying and panning I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot). Then you find gold! It is truly a pleasure watching you work Jeff. Then to top it off you get wet!!! Does it get any better than that? :-) Thanks so much from the cheap seats!
Fantastic video Jeff !! This is a huge incentive for everyone to go there. Lila did a great job filming, too. Smashed that LIKE button really hard ! Thanks for taking us on the trip Brother ! 🤠⚒️⛏️👍👍👍

That poor dog got a mouthful of your dirt Jeff 🐕 All that wood in the tunnel, pure craftsmanship. Wonderful. I'll be honest here, I've never heard of the Macky Muckers! Lila, you do such a fantastic job of filming, thank you. Very educational video. Stay safe my lovelies. 🇬🇧
MAN THAT EQUIPMENT IS AWESOME, EVERY THING WAS MADE BETTER, MADE TO LAST THE TIMES ,EVEN HAVE REAL WOOD, I AM NOT YELLING JUST SEEING BETTER, SORRY CAPPS, GOD BLESS ALL, COME ON LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!

Having been up to Virginia city several times & looking at all that was on display in town this episode is really nice to see here Jeff. The amount of history & Silver Wealth from that area is purely astounding!! Thanks again for sharing your passion & findings with us . Hopefully someday that entire tunnel can be reopened to the public , but at $8000 per 5 ft going in it’s gonna be awhile before that day happens I’m afraid. Wishing them all the best wishes & success with the project & fundraising needed . 🤞😎👍
Hi Jeff & Lila👋 Wow!! Your video was an incredible experience Jeff! II've only heard of hand mucking before but got to experience the process right here, that was neat! I watched some parts a few times. This comment could go on & on because the content was so full of history about the Sutro tunnel and Virginia City Trading Co. Big respect to John Martin & others who worked so hard for what they believed in only to lose their lives to that big blast💪⛏️🙏 I cant wrap my head around 3-5M gallons of water removed daily😮 Fantastic! And the area that produced 40K oz of gold, What!😁🔥 And there really is gold in Home Depot sand? I love this video so much, such cool old equipment brought back to life and SO MUCH MORE💯 Thank you Jeff💥⛏️ What a treat!
thanks , really appreciate that ...... thanks and so much History there ....so important to keep is going and restore it .... yes ..still so much Gold in them Hills it is not even funny ....we were literally tripping over rocks filled with Gold ....you will see that in the next video ..... always our pleasure ...thanks

Thats my dream job!🙏 This year has been rough up here in New England. This summer has been nothing but rain. I hope and pray that one day i can move out west and live the dream🙏🙏🙏
Keep'n the dream alive! Love this video, the history is so interesting and to think of the hard work that went into it all. Place looks like a real gem of history!
Thx Jeff. I went to the opening of the tunnel w my father in 1966? I remember a big wooden rectangular water storage made of wood. There were " hippies swinming In it." As per my father. I was 6 and most were skinny dipping so we left. That whole area had mills homes etc. My grandfather's secretary veas w us and she was born in Dayton so I got a tour of buildings that weren't there any more. Nice educate people on the history and geology as well as the many specifics on mining and milling. Keep it up.
Hi Folks, I visited the Sutro Tunnel in 1964, and I seem to recall that there were two tracks; one to carry miners etc. In, and another to take overburden, and some ore, out. Sutro got royalties on the ore, and also on the amount of ice that they brought in to cool those shafts. The rock temperature was something like 100 degrees(?) so they brought in the ice to cool down the mines, and miners down. It seems like there was an informational handout, written like a newspaper written about the tunnel. It was a long time ago. Fondest of memories, R.
Thank you so much for all you do! I feel I was a gold miner in a past life because your videos of the old west strike to the core of my soul.. Your a Great man and you deserve every gold nugget you find and more! God Bless🙏🏆🏆🏆
When boards come right out a mill they are 2x4, but after the get planed and put in a kiln to dry they shrink. Back in the day they didn't mill and dry kiln lumber like we do now.
@Askjeffwilliams it keeps cuts of lumber uniform regardless if they are dry kiln, planed, or normal. Otherwise, there is no standard cutting among different mills and countries. Starting with a larger border also makes more wasted board feet. STANDARDIZE it very important with little waste. How is that for common sense!!
A trick of the trade.. When you’re in a small creek and throwing the rocks out and using a rock Rake. You are concentrating the material. You will be able to process many yards in the day much more efficiently than just running a box.
Jeff what an amazing example of preservation of history. What outstanding achievement of the archway and soon beyond. Love the harmonica music. Lila must of been playing it😊. This is well worth reliving history. So much hard labor and time consuming went into these mines , it’s important to acknowledge that. Love the reconstruction of the house. Thanks for sharing all the artifacts and restoration of them. History in the making. Thanks to u and Lila. ❤
****I wsnt a bag of paydirt for pointing out that....I saw you on Ancient Aliens!!! Jeff going bigtime now!! Woot woot!! Mr geology!! 1 bag please!! Lol
Place is so cool. I’ve gotten to go a few times before and after the restoration. I got videos from both time periods if you want me to send em your way jeff.
Oh , on one more note here Our old 1938 house we live in here in El Cajon Ca. Has REAL 2x4’s in the framing of the structure supposedly from when the old Wooden flume from El Capitan dam was de-commissioned and the wood was re-purposed to build houses & such . It’s redwood too , & really has to be worked hard to pound any nails into it !!😉.

Are those first timber sets historically correct? They look like sets from a train tunnel. Would love to see the joints on them, to see how they were assembled. Thanks for another great video.
Are they gonna rebuild everything there (the mill, mansion and maybe one of the air shaft buildings) along with the tunnel as time, manpower and funding becomes available ?
Man vintage equipment is some of the coolest things i ever come across. the simplicity and longevity is unmatched from old tools and machinery. It was a true free market where big corps didnt take over. so the companies had to be the best of the best to sell their product.. its when the dollar wasnt so inflated, where quality (companies Image) was more important than making a few more bucks. as time grew people got greedier ( 2x4 wood order in a nutshell) until they were able to get them so cheap that replacement was cheaper than building one nice one . the consumer always loose in the long run.
exactly ..... they built things to last back then ...not like today ...everything made of cheap materials and plastic to make money .... always about the money
If that much water comes out of that mountain, from the source of it's good water make a bottling factory have special labels and bottles from that mine. Sutro's Water on the label have a pic of the mine entrance
I went there in the early 1980’s still water draining. I asked for permission and was told that the tunnel was partially collapsed and not safe to go in and I didn’t…., pictures taken 35 mm
6:17 do you think they knew how big GoPros would be in the future and spaced those bars evenly LOL you sure got lucky looks like it almost didn't fit...
So Jeff, now someone poured big bucks into a tunnel that is useless except as a tourist attraction? Is some expecting enough draw to this tunnel to make a profit? Or are they planning on a retreat from the Appococlipse?
you betcha ....just like a dial indicator they paint lines on the story poll when the skip bucket or skip car gets to each level to know when to slow down for each stop and for accuracy when it is in the exact spot they paint a mark on the drum

When boards come right out a mill they are 2x4, but after the get planed and put in a kiln to dry they shrink. Back in the day they didn't mill and dry kiln lumber like we do now.
then why not start with a larger board to account for that

Elképesztően nagy támfák és hatalmas méretű járat , eszméletlen pénzeket emészt fel egy ilyen restaurálás főleg hivatalossan is biztonsagossá téve.
igen, az ilyen méretű és léptékű bányáknak nagy cégeknek kell gyártaniuk őket, mivel sok pénzbe kerülnek
hopefully its termite resistant wood, Or they used treated wood at the bases
Was that you flying a drone over me a couple weeks ago?
nope .....
Hmm.... someone flew their drone right to me and then hovered for a few minutes. I thought for sure it was Jeff Williams lol

they actually have big plans for it
Hey, Jeff. Can you explain how the story pole on that winch works. How does it mark the distance on the pole?

Man, that sounds really expensive ! May have looked for an alternate method of restoration, however it sure looks nice 👍
they wanted it the way it was originally intended ....can't wait to see how far they make it back there

Jeff, you need to come to Reed gold mine in nc, the original gold rush in North america.
working on it
@@Askjeffwilliams let me know, I'd like to meet you.
Jeff tell them to finish it with concrete and rebar and have that posh woodwork as the entrance. Save a fortune and saves some trees.
