Big ol Chunk of Quartz

This is a spot where they just dug a whole groove out of the side of the mountain to get at the quartz that held the gold... I think they might have dug out the groove and then started tunneling into the mountain and then one day things turned sour... Just down hill from here is where that buried ore cart is. The white bit at the end of the groove is a huge chunk of quartz. It is about six feet tall, twelve feet wide and goes into the mountain I-don't-know-how far. That whole end of the grove is a chaotic mess... That must have been an interesting day.
