Gold was soon discovered in a huge quartz vein system, and mined.

The mine's lower workings became flooded and lay dormant until seventy-five years later, when the site came under new ownership.

Today, a part of the upper level of the mine remains open for tourists,[2] who can tour portions of the "Glory Hole" underground and pan for gold.

Original cart rails, electrical lines and even an operational pneumatic drill recovered from the mine may be viewed.
