Empire Mine SHP Pictures

Must post a few pics from Oct 18.

1) The main shaft of the Empire Mine. This part of the mine was bolstered by tram car rails from San Francisco, obtained by the mine's owner after the SF Earthquake in the early 20th century.


2a) The Empire Mine "Cottage", where the mine's owner stayed when visiting the Grass Valley area. That's my brother by the door.


2b) Backside of the "Cottage"


3a) The reflecting pool down the hill from the front of the "Cottage"


3b) The water source for the reflecting pool.


3c) The brother reflecting in the reflecting pool.


4) Stamp mill on the premises
