The Elliott Mine
Bordering Valley of The Moon.
The Eliot Mine is located in the back of The Valley of The Moon, as you walk into the valley iy is easily recognized by the winding road leading to the top. I have read multiple sources, saying it was a gold, tungsten, Amethyst or Silica Mine, none is evident in the tailing's that spill down the hill.There is quite a few pegmatite dikes running through the hill though.
Below are a couple of the many shafts that bore there way into the mine. There are quite a few that have collapsed as well, not a mine to enter. I do not endorse entering any mines on this site, if youy decide to do so it is at your own risk. I always like the vantage from this hill, the height allows you to see over a lot of the terrain |
