Bradshaw Mines
The Bradshaw Mountains had a
gold rush in the mid 1860's that continued
until about 1930. Gold, silver and copper
were the most sought after minerals. Adits
and deep vertical shafts appear all over the
Bradshaw landscape. They
are fun to look at and ponder the hard
working past but stay out of them!
When I was a young foolish
teenager I explored old Bradshaw mines.
Once, while in one named the “Lucky
Chance,” and following a set of old rail
tracks, I almost fell several feet not
seeing another vertical shaft in the poor
light. That was many years ago and mines
have become even more unstable today. Stay
Out!

Bradshaw mines.
We will be adding more
locations over time as we build this site.
They will be announced in our newsletter.
