Art lived here with his Wife and Dog.
This House Has Burned Down
Art stored many Artifacts in this Building
Tunnel was more a company camp than a town. Organized in 1927 to build a 100
ton cyanide mill and drive a tunnel into rock workings of the old Seven Troughs mines, Tunnel contained about 30 buildings
including a store, bunkhouse, bathhouse, powerhouse, and superintendent's house. The 2.25 mile long tunnel was constructed
to eliminate drainage problems that overwhelmed the Seven Troughs Coalition Mining Company. Although this tunnel cut through
several promising gold veins, wet ground was encountered, and costs soared. All work eventually ceased in 1934. On again, off again
mining continued until the 1950s.
UPDATE: We discovered during the 2007 trip that the friends we had made at this town during our first visit years ago have passed on, and some of the buildings have burned to the ground. Both Art and his dog Ginger have traveled in our Cheap Jeep. Ginger is buried in the graveyard.
