Mine
As we left Delamar it was time to visit a
mine we seen a mile away on the side of a mountain. We had two dirt roads to our
right one of them was less rugged but still had to take it with caution as it
was very narrow and had allot of dips in it.
We followed this road a mile in looking at
the rock formations around us still we did not seen any debris pile so then I
assumed that it was a little higher up the side of the mountain. I knew the mine
sat at the corner of a junction where all 3 roads met so I just had to park
somewhere near there and hike up the mountain looking for the small entrance
into this large mine.
At night without much of a moon their is
not much to see but shadows of rock every which way. I happened to find a little
dirt road off to my left. I pulled off there and gathered our gear for our night
hike. What turned out to be a small little hike turned into a much large project
by the end of the night.
We started a hike up this rocky road which
led us to nowhere but higher up the mountain. As we started to hike around this
area I found a vertebrae it was fairly large perhaps an animal but nonetheless
it looked very human. The size of it was smaller then my fist but only by a
little and near it was another large bone of a shoulder blade/clavicle.
The bones looked very old almost as if
something dug them up maybe from the grave yard or perhaps it is bones from an
old miner buried near the entrance. I did not take the bones but I did
photograph them for later viewing by our members and experts.
Tammy and I followed the mountain from
right to left until we were about 100 feet above the car up on the side of this
hill. We took a break then noticed a set of head lights coming down the road. I
could hear what sounded like a radio playing and two men talking kind of
loud.
The pickup truck they were in was very run
down and they slowly passed by my car pulled off to the side of the road. Then
as they went past it they stopped then moved forward again. Eventually the men
made it past us their was some relief.
However the men in the truck were acting
as if they were searching for something. A few times they went down the road
they turned their truck around as if they were making a uturn and heading back
for us. They would do this a few times only to eventually turn around pull up
near my car and back into the side of the hill hitting rocks.
I knew something wasn't right with these
people they had eventually put the truck in park walking up to the back of my
car. I yelled out to the individual get the F*** away from my car the guy still
kept walking up to it but he put his hands up. I said it about 3 to 4 more times
told him he has no business snooping around my vehicle. It was a dark night no
moon we were in a canyon on top of this hill or mountain if you call it with
brush all around us. The inviduals i seemed to frighten on off as he walkked
back to his truck and the men had left. The nice thing about the desert is that
you can hide anywhere and anybody can have a rifle aimed at you anytime.
The guy before he got back into his truck
asked me what I am doing here I told him stargazing and he was like well we seen
this vehicle back here was wondering what was going on. Even though his
headlights hit us earlier on the hill it was obvious these folks did not see us
so with a little intimidation they left.
I asked myself who walks up to a dark
parked car with tinted windows in the middle of the night. Anybody who is local
to the area knows that the Delamar area is a place for hiking.....camping and
extreme adventurist. Seeing cars up here and campers is not uncommon. It was
oobvious that these two were up to no good I had to react and yell down into the
canyon in darkness. I am sure these guys had a huge wake up call to hear some
angry guy hiding in the hills watching them.
As the men drove on off they did it very
slow stopping every once in awhile. We had no idea if they put something sharp
behind the wheels of our car or if they would wait for us at the junction. It
was obvious based on the direction they came that they probably did not have
much gas remaining so they would have to leave the area and get to
town.
There are roads back here that lead to
Caliente.....parts of Utah....etc its very vast out by Delamar some offroading
sometimes as much as 50 to 80 miles in length. If you get stuck deep back here
that could mean your life as you know it hence the vertebrae i found made it all
the more believable.
After hiking for awhile we started to see
dugouts where mining on the side of the hill began but never was finished. I
knew we had to be getting close but the climb was on a rough angle with allot of
brush to walk around including some cactuses.
We climbed over a smaller hill it seemed
endless till I seen with my flashlight a wooden ore shoot and below that was the
giant debris pile we spotted earlier during the day. Behind the ore shoot was a
dwarf sized entrance made out of wood into this mine. Tammy was still about 100
feet behind me so I just took a break as she came further down the
hill.
I was so happy because we been hiking
around this mountain for a good hour climbing up then down.....then over other
hills and it was time to enter into something we could explore. When we entered
the mine there was a bat hanging above our heads. To bad i didn't pick him up
they are pretty cool creatures.
As we followed the narrow tunnel further
down their was a chute off to our left....and a few smaller passages to our left
and right sides always dead ending. It appeared they tried to expand the mine in
different directions but failed.
The mine was very lengthy and deep. We had
to be deep inside the mountain we just were climbing on. Their was a junction
which branched off to the right. We decided to continue staying straight. We
also found some old rails that went to the right. This mine at one time had
mine cart tracks which probably brought out the ore to the chute in front of it
for processing.
Tammy and I would come up to a dead end
where we found an old wooden service elevator to the next level. Their was also
a crevice to our right with wood beams placed in between the gap. It looked like
an 8 foot fall onto a ledge then in front of that a massive black hole more then
likely leading to the bottom of wherever the service elevator led. This diagonal
shaft was unique but never go into a place you cannot get out of it and this was
a one way trip.
We started to head on back took the
junction tunnel we found there we would find a giant 1 gallon jug of piss not
sure I want to know. But it was not water in that jug you could just tell. This
tunnel would only lead us to a dead end. We had a long ways to go to get out of
the mine.
The walk back through the tunnel was
hasteful we did not stop to waste anytime. I did at this point feel something
was in the mine with us. Generally most places I go you feel nothing but as i
started to leave I felt like something was smothering me or that we overstayed
our welcome here.
It felt good to be outside it was a little
warm inside the mine. I was just glad this was not the cyanide mine and just
another one of Delamars gold mines which produced half of the states gold. There
were other mines in the area I would have loved to see but out of them all I am
willing to bet this one was the safest.
We did investigate the ore chute a little.
I noticed a shaft in the center of the chute or some hole did not get to close
to find out where it went or how deep it was. There was allot of debris and wood
surrounding us. We slowly made our way down the side of the debris pile of
crushed rock and back out onto the road.
The road is so much different when you
walk on it you think did I drive over these rocks or was the road this narrow.
You literally cannot believe you took this road to begin with but you did and
there you are in the middle of the night looking for the
paranormal.
When we arrived back at the car we had no
issues getting out of the area it was getting dark and cold though. We still had
to visit the cemetery which we did after missing our turn off for almost 10
miles. We came across an abandoned vehicle that was up on a jack with the tire
off. It was a truck with a flat so you see the terrain out here can have its
toll on any vehicle nothing to mess with and well being the jack was not in my
car a flat had to be avoided at all cost.
We had missed the cemetery at first but
found a pull off which led us to a series of dirt roads with a sign that labeled
it grassy springs. We pulled on up to a series of fenced in areas which were
overgrown but at one time were full of lush grass for grazing animals. I did not
find any springs but we would enter the series of pastures looking for any
structures such as stables to explore.
The fencing in this area was made with
tree branches sticking out of the ground holding barbed wire up. While other
sections off areas had rusted metal bars and gates. There also was some fencing
made out of wood. We did not spend much time here as all their was to see
is remnants of a horse watering and grazing area.
We found a few mangled horse troughs and
Tammy found someone's prescription glasses just laying on the ground still half
folded as if they fell from someone's pocket. The entire area was torn up as
piles of wood slats were off to the corner....and a gate sat unhinged as it
greeted us to another sector.
This spring and horse watering area
reminded me of allot like our trip to Gold Butte. It truly is amazing how
similar life was in the wild west. People no matter where they immigrated to
built their societies based on farming....the railroad...mining......and
utilized what was around them. In one case they built the horse cornel out of
wood found around the region while the houses in Delamar was built out of native
stone.
When you walk up to sites such as this
they are fascinating but can be eerie to knowing that at one time this place
looked allot different then how you see it now. I always wished that I could see
a before and after photo of most places I journey at but then think what will my
world look like in a century? Perhaps the same a pile of debris and
rubble.
The night was brisk Tammy and I were
drinking a cold beer it hit the spot and we wrapped up the cemetery along with
the night. My kids were actually happy this time we did not get stranded or
lost.
I was pretty happy to pull back onto the
highway of course instead of going back to Vegas I really wish it was over to
Utah or the grand canyon. But after stopping at an eerie gas station past
midnight up near Alamo....and sharing a few funny tales we all made it home in
once piece.
It was a long 3 hour drive home nothing to
see between this town and Vegas just dark shadows of vast mountains and desert.
Thank goodness for those 5 hour energy shots it is all I have to say. Eventually
when i get sometime on my hands I will get this onto our site and its going to
look bomb.
After a three year wait Delamar became a
place that we fully enjoyed a longing worth waiting for. I am sure much more
remains to be seen as I found many roads and paths which led to mines and
foundations. Is this ghost town haunted? Not sure but being somewhere at the
right time and place has everything to do with how your investigation will
unfold.

 This Vertabrae found near the mine resemble a similary of one that may have came from a human. More then often miners were buried near the mine later only to be exhumed by coyotes and other animals. I cannot say its human but nonetheless this bone at one belonged to a mammal that I am sure of it and it met its fate near this mine.  This photo shows our viewers a size comparsion of the vertabrae as opposed to the size of my hand.  A photo of another bone found near the Vertabrae except this one is badly broking making it hard to identify more then like belonging to the same mammal that the vertabrae belonged too.
