Starbuck's Exploring

First of all, this mine has a great view. That alone was worth the trip up here. The mine was worked for gold, silver and lead. Ores were brought up the shaft (now caved) from 4 levels of workings. The deepest only at 280'. Ore was worked in the large 100-ton mill. Work on the mine started around 1910s and went until WWII closed the mines, then again off and on until the 1980s. The property is currently owned by the Boy Scouts. They have a camp right next to it and I'm told the mill is boarded up now. These photos are early and from my film days. Quality is a bit lacking.
