They gotta be kidding!~ That entrance to the kid's portal could kill you easy. It did a miner at the 16 to One in California. Low beams. Sleeping in a mine 500 feet underground is not my idea of a good time. On the other hand, it ain't that scary either. What I want is a chance to bootleg silver with a jackleg. Anyone selling a chance at that? I often thought of that. We should sell opportunity to mine in a stope alone by yourself. All the gold you can steal. Thrill to the sound of taking a round. Scale big hunks of rock off the back. Drill all day with a stoper so you can't hear yourself talk at end of shift. Tug on the surveyor's chain to get more tons. Load amex and nitro til you have a headache. Rig your thermalite and count your shots by the lunchroom. Next day you get to slush and wash the ore and pull the swell from chutes. After scaling we hope. Then find the nuggets. Take apart your thermos and put the chips in the bottom near the plastic part. Then the bigger hunks in an old dirty brown sack. When tramming back hide it behind an overhead beam. Your buddy on cross shift will take it up the escape raise another 500 feet. All that excitement for only $250 a day. What a getaway vacation! And after that you get to go out of the cottage and fight blackflies or skidoo at 50 below, while poaching moose. Read up on the St. Theresa Mine near Geraldton. It would make what I just wrote sound tame. They ran it with religious retreat faithfuls for free. No excrement. And of course being a religious mission, the paid no tax. And the ore, the owner said Jesus would show them where it was. For the record Jesus was not a bad geologist. They made money and the mine is not a bad show all in all, even today. They tried to re-open it once in the 1980's. Too many PhD's and not enough Jesus. EC<:-}
