      Thank you Jeff. Kim, the old timer who actually lives on that property for 42 years says there was a shaft there. He said 3 or 4 individuals went into that shaft and hit some bad air. They made it out but didn’t make it far. According to Kim, that was the last known shaft that a person could make it into the Comstock Lode. On the north side of Kim’s home was a vertical shaft that the city plugged years ago.
      In Gold Hill there is a railroad track that leads into American Flats and ends in no man’s land, , west of the Comstock Mining Office. Kim owns it. There are no plans for it. Close to VC he has a locomotive that is running. I’ve heard about it for years, I never seen it. He knows who you are, he’ll take us there to see it as long as we don’t reveal its location. He said because of politics and money he can’t do anything with the track line and locomotive. Across from his home there are some original tracks from the Transcontinental Railway he obtained while working for them.
      Lastly, I’m finally starting on the C&C Ore. it’s 3 pm, hopefully I can finish this tonight for tomorrow’s episode, if not it’ll be tomorrow evening.
      Thank you for your encouragement, it energizes me to work hard. And thank you for your knowledge as it has given me direction into all this. 💪🏻

      @@themahoneymine That’s cool! A stock takeover would be cool, then start a new mining project and announce a Press Release and watch the price of the stock rise. That would be fun!
