It was the Town Tombstone Arizona.
Bisbee is well know for the copper production.
I pick that Silver Ore near the Town of Tombstone.
That Town was famous for Producing millions in Silver
and still some of abandoned mine all around there,with very promising Silver Ore that the old timer left it in piles.
always look for sign of ownership
like Stacks
claims jumping is Not fine and can make the owner angry.
some abandoned mine still have enough ore in the high grade piles
that will keep miner busy for years.
that’s one of the reason I don’t go inside a mine.
the old timer did almost all the job for Us.
the other reason I don’t go inside a mine ?
is for safety reason
I’m very concern about my safety
there lot of thing that can go wrong inside a mine.
1:toxic gases like H2S (sewer gas) in low concentration smell like rotten eggs.
but the dangerous thing is when is in high concentration You cannot smell it.
H2S gas can kill a person almost instantly.
an old miner gave me an advice.
when You see a mine with water and organic materials inside.
Don’t go inside that mine!.
2:Lack of Oxigen.
3: Bats excrement ,called (Guano).
is very dangerous ,because the illness any one can get by touching it or breath it.
4: open pit,darkness,snake,black widow spiders,falling rocks.
so many thing can go wrong.
if we are not aware of it.
for that reason when we go mining
we don’t play,we do it very seriously.
we put 1000% in what we do.
that’s the way,we can go back to Home.
follow advice,learn the trade.
study and study.
I still learning new thing today.
that can safety apply to my trade of mining.
like the old moto said.
“there is No cure for gold fever”
good day
