Constructed in the 1920’s, the Red Mask Mine consisted of a vertical mine shaft, ore dump, hoisting tower, shaft house and boiler. Claimed under the provision of the General Mining Law of 1872, the mine was thought to contain rich veins of gold, silver and copper. Only small amounts of silver and trace amounts of gold and copper were ever extracted. The remains that you presently see consist of the collapsed hoisting tower, rusted boiler and shafthouse remnants.
