Built to service the mines at bralorne and pioneer, bradian's first homes were built in the mid 1930's and grew to approx. 60 houses before being abandoned in 1971 when the mines closed. The richest single ton of ore ever mined in canada came from the ground below these mines (2000 oz/ton) Submitted by: Tom gutenburg |
