Worked oseola 13 sinking shaft when C&H closed down while we were on strike IN 1968–We were sinking shaft deeper for the pocket they planned to build for side dump tram cars–the tram cars are still on surface there by the mine–after 40 yrs they look in good shape yet—tony

Dave – We’ve been practicing the same thing as of late. While the plumes at Quincy are obvious, we’ve found that lots of shafts have been capped adequately enough to minimize this visual cue. I remember spending a morning around cliff trying to find the adit using the same method but coming up short. Either way it’s neat to see and I’ll have to get a few shots to of this phenomena to show here.

Another way to locate shafts this time of year is to look for plumes of
of moisture that condense when the warm moist air of the mine
hits the cold air.
