Abandones mine shafts?

[animasinsulinpu]

Do any of you have abandoned mine shafts in your area? I have 40 less than a mile and a half from me. In Az they say we have 150.000 or more. One in Wickenburg is over 2000 ft. deep. Very scary!!!!.....Bill in Az....

Where my parents live there are a few abandoned open pit stone mines but nothing deep, some 20 metres at best, no more.

This part of California

had many when I was a little kid. I'll never know how
so many of us survived to adulthood.

No not by me. We dig out tunnels here through which subway and railroads run..............

I don't think it was quite ABANDONED, however

Well. actually. there WAS a mineshaft at

835 Washington Street NY, NY 10014

WOW

I want to fall deep down that shaft and then HE can buy
the beer and I'll turn into the Booze Hoover. I will....Bill in Az....

Yeah Well . . .

I don't think depth was something that most patrons of The Mineshaft were looking for!

They are everywhere here, Virginia City is on top of mines. I worked at a tungsten mine near Winnemucca that was owned by General Electric and opened in 1920. The main shaft (Glory Hole), is over 1700 ft. straight down...its being reopened with the price of metals going up, and being brought up to current safety standards...
