Manganese mine

last year we redecovered a manganese mine on a place called hill 60 . i have knowen where it was for many years but at that time i was not into checking these things out, now that i am into looking for mines and ghost towns, the roads were washed out, and now can only axcess by atv or walking, not a lot of info can be found on this mine, the mine was staked in 1918 at the 2000foot leavel and 3 open clames were staked,was a tram way built from the mine down to the cpr rail line that runs to lake cowichan and youbou town site once being the only way to youbou before the road was built, there seams to be no photos of the tram can be found as of yet,(still searching) i did find old shafts and leavers from the tram on the hill side, and some small gage rail line used at the mine, this summer back looking and searching after the snow is gone, was on the mountian beging of april and was still 6 feet of snow so soon be back looking, also there is a rhodonite mine close by, but i will leave that for another topice.
