But the miners were mostly a different sort -- as rough, tough and hard-boiled a bunch as any that later mushed into the Klondike. Adventurers, gamblers and counterparts of Dan McGrew and the lady called Lou appeared from nobody knows where.

The subsequent ups and downs of this ill-fated venture cannot be followed here.
Anyone ambitious to do that may, perhaps, find material enough for a fascinating historical narrative, or, spiced with a little imagination, a good story. Failure of the enterprise was often attributed to the inability to control the water which flooded the mine. The theory was exploded in During that year William Wyntien, of Doylestown, succeeded in pumping the mines entirely dry with the mine pump on the property, which, it was said, had been there since He found the two main shafts still properly timbered, each 10 feet square, one feet deep and the other feet.

Operations were started on a small scale in an old shaft, but work soon stopped. At the same time it was reported that the Funk farm had been leased by another company. No work was done on this farm. Since then sporadic attempts have been made to revive the mines. As late as a gang of men began restoring the railway tracks, but nothing further was done.

We enjoyed over 25 seasonal craft beers, expertly paired foods, desserts and live music. The evening was topped off by the silent auction and raffle baskets. These donations were truly appreciated and contributed to the overall success of the event. It was wonderful to see how many of the surrounding community members came out to participate and donate to this wonderful cause supporting environmental education and conservation. We are truly blessed to have a community such as this pay it forward.
Peace Valley Nature Center is a magical place in every season. In the winter, the trails and surrounding hills are covered with virgin snow and winter wildlife.
