[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1599359, member: 9096"] I grew up in Bralorne BC, 2 towns next to it (Bradian and Pioneer) were both ghost towns.. Pioneer mines was a hard rock mine, the town was at 4000 ft elevation or something and the tunnels went down below sea level. Over 4 million ounces of gold came out of that mine alone. When we lived there in the 80's the mine was still standing, Penstocks were somewhat there.. about a 36" penstock made from creosoted fir.. probably about a mile long.. not a single knot in the entire length! Here's a pic, I'm guessing from about 15-25 years ago, it's been mostly dismantled for the last 10 years https://search-bcarchives.royalbcmuseum.bc.ca/pioneer-mine-near-lillooet [/QUOTE]
