Belle Mine (I think)

Stuff came up so I will not have time to update in detail much this week. Here are some snaps from what we think is the Belle Mine.

These are the main buildings 'shanties'. As you can see it was worked not to long ago, 50' or 60's.



These shots are for the placer dig below the Belle Mine. They are obviously hand dug and stacked. When the dredges did it they left wavy lines like over lapping scales.



Garnets in matrix at the placer.


Very small shaft of unknown depth down below the mine on the placer level.



Upper and more modern level of the mine. Looks like it was worked in the 80's or later. I assume the shaft was blown shut because the tailing's indicate a much deeper mine.
