COMMENTS:
Located in Collie canyon, west
of Bland. Someone recently reopened the claim at the mine. Only
foundations left when I visited it in the late 80's. Served as
the party town for the miners at Bland. There is an old trestle
bridge still standing down the valley from the town site, by
hiking to it only. REMAINS: Some foundations and a few pieces of old stoves. |

Active about the same time as Bland. Hillside had to be blasted out in order to build houses. Had a cyanide processor near the mine entrance. Submitted by Nick Nicolaus. |
