   I'm very interested in the story you just told, do you have any links that will go directly to the hostory of the area or mine you were exploring? or do you have any links to history on that gentleman that had been mining lead for the confederacy?

Don't know whether this is the place homefire is talking about or not, but it would be in the right general area historically.

Name is right but location was down by the Helvetia Mine District.

I can't find any Info on Mr Sylvester Mallory on the net but that is the story I was told as a kid.

I may have been off the Mark.   

The Rosemont Mining District is believed to have been worked before the Civil War, but it was not until the 1870s that the first mining claims in the area were staked. The Narragansett claim, struck by J.K. Brown in 1879 was the first, followed by the Eclipse claim by M.L. Geroud in 1884 and Backbone claim by Thomas Deering and William McCleary in1885. McCleary, backed by investors and his friend J.L. Rose, established the Rosemont Smelting and Mining Company. By 1894, the company consisted of 30 developed claims and a camp, which grew to become the first location of the community of Old Rosemont. The same year, 50 men were hired to begin development of a smelter site and mine. Within four months, the first smelter had been erected.

This is just East, But I am sure we were in the Helvetia District.

     thank you very much, i really want to make it down towards that way and explore, and your mining history information will prove very helpful, if you are ever in utah territory let me know before you come so i can research the area where you're going to go.  people like my dad and his friends know more of the history of utah, mines, and caves in the state than i do.  you should look up Frisco ghost town in utah, we have a bunch but this one was one of my favorites.

Feeding off of homefire's latest post, the Phoenix chapter of the GPAA had a geologist from the new Rosemont Mine company speak at one their meetings late last year.  They have an interesting set up

One piece of essential backup equipment one should take along underground is one of the new LED wind up flashlights. Just in case the worst happens and you get stuck longer than expected you will have light as long as you can wind it up.

great idea, do you know how those compare to flashlights that you shake and they charge themselves?  i've got thrity more minutes and i'll be off and headed to the mouth of the mine.  i won't have anyone with me or ALL of the propper gear, so i won't be going in today.  just going to snap spme flash pictures inside of it to see what i can see before i do anyhting else.
