What remains
The front face of the old ore bin is still standing but the sides and back have pretty much collapsed. All
of the hardware has been removed, and rails from the caved portal have been removed as well. The cabin or bunkhouse on the
property just below the ore bin is all but gone as well. The roof is gone and only about 4 feet of the log walls remain in
place as walls. Bits of metal are everywhere, but nothing of any significance.
This site is on a well hiked trail around Dog lake, but it is Private
Property so please enjoy the view if you choose to visit, but leave things as you find them.
