Among western history enthusiasts, Tombstone Arizona is well-known as an infamous mining town that gave way to notorious outlaws, gunfights, mining disputes and just about every other type of stereotypical western drama. Despite being the sole reason for the town’s existence, the underground mines of Tombstone are still largely overlooked by the history books; overshadowed by more well-known events such as the gunfight at the O.K. Corral. The names Ed Schieffelin, Wyatt Earp, and Doc Holliday are synonymous with Tombstone; but none of these people were miners. We think it's important to document and appreciate the history that made Tombstone into what it is now most famous for.
The mining history of Tombstone is as vast as the underground workings that lie beneath the town. Worked primarily for silver, the mines of Tombstone were extensively developed with dozens of miles of underground workings. The mines were driven to a depth of 500 feet before significant volumes of water were encountered which eventually doomed all mining operations in the area.
Join us as we wander through the endless maze of tunnels beneath the streets of Tombstone. We find spectacular geology, 100-year old artifacts, and sublevels that have not been explored in decades. In this video, we continue our push down to unexplored levels, over 400 ft. from the surface! While we didn't find anything too extensive, we did find areas that hadn't been visited in decades. I hope you enjoy!

The miners seemed to have had a preoccupation with the female anatomy and the devil lol

What are death holes in Mines, stupid question but I always wonder how people end up dying in the mines even with proper training
