What kind of mine was this? Do you have the location on maps to look up more info on this. I love mines and mining history, and can't figure out what type of mine this was our the processes used.
These are the ruins of the Tioga coal mining town about 10 miles NW of Walsenburg CO. Here is some additional information I was able to find online about it: Mine: TIOGA, a.k.a. Big Four, Kebler No. 1, Kebler No. 2 Location: Tioga means, "where it forks" in some Native American tongue. It must refer to the road that forks here, where now Highway 69 continues west to Gardner and the county road heads south to the site of Alamo. Operator: Big Four Coal Company. In 1910 the mine was leased or sold to Minnequa Fuel Company. In 1919 Colorado Fuel and Iron bought the mine. Big Four was now known as Kebler No. 2, and soon closed. A new slope was driven and called Tioga, or confusingly, Kebler No. 2. Another new opening was called Kebler No. 1. Operation: 1907 - 1953 Production: 5,000,000 + tons
@@p930racer let me know if you come come across a big pile of tailings when u find a gold mine. This new acura i got now let's me go where my shitty chrysler couldn't so some summer road trips sound fun.

Nice, you come across any gold mines? Maybe take my littls dredge out and check out some tailings!
Eventually I want to shoot all those nice gold and silver mines way up in the mountains, so this is just practice, lol.
