Today
The mine has been cleaned up and illuminated, and guided tours can be taken through the mine. Much of the old mining equipment is still to be seen there. A highlight of the tour is where it passes through a spectacular example of drift mining, its long deep drift cut downward from the top through the mountain where its lode of ore was located.
