Coming to our YouTube Channel tomorrow at 4:30pm




Join us as we venture 3800 feet into the long-abandoned Historic Mystery Pride Mine Complex near Monte Cristo, WA—one of the most intriguing, abandoned mining sites in the Pacific Northwest! Watch as we discover a patented rare mine tramway system. But wait did we discover an underground lunchroom dating to the 1890’s?


This mine was once part of a thriving gold and silver operation. Today, the remnants of its unique tramway system—designed to transport ore efficiently—remain, alongside stunning mineralized tunnels, rusting equipment, and a forgotten underground space where miners took shelter and rested. offering a rare glimpse into the ingenuity and daily life of the miners who once worked these tunnels.
