- This is going to be part 1 of 2 of our explore of the amazing War Eagle mine. This mine's primary commodities included gold, silver, copper, and lead. There are many amazing features put on display such as square set timbering, cribbing, lagging and even a couple inclined shafts. After reviewing this video, I noticed that there was an unexplained voice phenomenon that was not my buddy Daniel's voice, nor mine. Right after I mentioned this section of rails is sketchy, immediately after you can clearly hear a male's voice say "rail". I'm no believer of the paranormal, but after hearing that the first time I don't know what to think. Hope you guys enjoy this video, and as always thanks for watching!
Skip to 22:32 and let me know what you hear. Very peculiar audio evidence of an unexplained voice.
Are you talking about the random "Rail" shouted?
@@hoppinflea Yep, that's it
Very odd considering your friends were not that close to you
@@hoppinflea Yeah seriously. That's why it's unexplained. If I had heard that in the moment I would've freaked out
@@WesternMineDetective definitely heard the “rail”. Rough voice, not in a tone anyone in your party sounds like. You didn’t hear it until you watched the footage you watch the footage?
The cribbing at 7:15 is interesting. It alternates round timber and square lumber. And interesting how much square set was repurposed for cribbing.

It's cool to see more females involved in mine exploring. Back when I was doing it, from the late 1950s till late 1990s, I knew of no female mine explorers.

18:48 That's a wire rope (cable) spool. John Augustus Roebling (born Johann August Röbling) was a German-born American civil engineer. He designed and built wire rope suspension bridges. His original rope company was in Saxonburg, Pennsylvania in 1841. In 1867 he began the design of what is now called the Brooklyn Bridge, but died in 1869 before completing it. His sons carried on the wire rope business with their company John A Roebling's Sons Co. which is credited for being the cable contractor for the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California; constructed from 1933 to 1937. This is the same type of wire rope used in mining for winches and aerial tramways. The John A. Roebling's Sons Co. was originally based out of Trenton, New Jersey. The Los Angeles branch was built in 1913. The building now is the site of Angel City Brewery.
That's interesting and cool now I love to hear the history of the materials in the mines that I watch people explore on here now and that was an interesting and awesome mine to be checking out here too have a great day
I loved seeing the cribbing it was nothing like I've seen before. Especially how they incorporated the square set timbering into it. Thanks for the info on the spool and company, very interesting stuff! Very much appreciated. Thanks for watching mate!
I've always been a big history buff. It used to be very difficult to impossible to find information on things. Now with the vast wealth of information available on the internet I can google one thing, follow down the rabbit hole, find clues and tidbits, go down more rabbit holes, and eventually I can usually find quite a lot of information on most anything. I did recognize this as being some sort of cable spool, and the name on the spool made it pretty easy to start a search. I'm always happy to be able to share what I've learned :>
If that spool is reobling it was wire rope. they made ski lifts in their last years of production also made mining trams
Thanks for the info! Appreciate it
@@WesternMineDetective yah no problem
18:44 It's a wire spool. Probably used to lay the fuse wire from the dynamite given its close proximity to dynamite boxes. An axle would be threaded through the holes on the spool and you'd walk backwards and the wire would unwind.
JOHN A. ROEBLING’S SONS CO WIRE WORKS, LOS ANGELES (1913) - the wooden item you found is a cable spool. The abbreviation of CAL. was used until the 1910's-1920's.
Awesome! Thanks for the info. This mine operated from 1912 to 1957 so that definitely fits in the time frame.
The '4 way switch' you refer to is called a diamond in the railroad world. Thanks for the video!
Oh cool, I wasn't aware of that thanks for the info. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Excellent explore. Got interested in these old mines after coming across ‘Abandoned and Forgotten Places’ been fascinated since. Loved the timber work and some great close up shots. Ore carts are amazing. Will be watching each of the video soon from the start of the channel. All the best and thanks for the channel.
Hey Peter, appreciate that! Gly has a great channel I enjoy many of his videos. The amount of timber in this mine is just insane. Thanks for the support and I'm glad you enjoy what you've seen so far. Many more videos to come.
@@WesternMineDetective another supporter here from becoming interested after stumbling across Gly's channel. You video pretty well and have encountered some cool places thus far. Get some climbing lessons and gear and oxygen Meyers etc, and U r well on your way to building a great channel young fella. Cheers from Australia. Subscribed.
As always a great video. Truly a pleasure to explore with you brother. Who knows what lies in those hills to this day!
Thanks man! Was a super fun explore probably one of the best I've had to date with you and Karissa. Probably some amazing stuff lying in those stopes like you said. Thanks for checking it out!
love exploration and learning about things i have no knowledge about . thanks for taking us along ... your ghost is weird
Thanks man, always great to learn new stuff! The voice is definitely weird, and hard to explain especially since I didn't hear it in the moment. Spooky stuff. Thanks for watching! Looking forward to watching your other vids as well.
Roebling I believe made cables.Very interesting mine, appreciate your exploration and your friends too.
Appreciate the input! Seems like most people said it's a spool which would make perfect sense. Thanks for the kind words and glad you enjoyed this one!
Im always coming back to this video. Id love to come to this mine to conduct a paranormal investigation. What Jerith captured is considered a "class A" electronic voice phenomenon (evp).
Hell yeah, appreciate it! This is one of my favorite videos and mines. Gave me goosebumps when I first heard the voice editing. Unfortunately, it’s now private property but if you want to message me on insta I’d be glad to let you know who owns it now and how to contact him ☺️
@@WesternMineDetective Sweet! I would definitely love that! I'll be starting my travels next spring, and documenting it all on here. and will hit you up on insta when im ready to go. Thanks Jerith :)
@@MPWEST83 Sounds like fun! Looking forward to seeing them, hit me up whenever. Cheers 🍻
@@WesternMineDetective And cheers to you as well :)
I watch a lot of mine exploring videos,but this mine would be a dream come true
Right! This place has everything. Too bad it has been vandalized a bit, but other than that it's pretty amazing to see all the cool stuff in there. Thanks for watching!
Great videos! Come to Utah!
Hi, the reel at 18:50 looks like a homemade cable reel ??. OMG that voice was definitely not yours as it came from in front of you I believe and clearly said "Rail", wow. Those ore cars were really cool to find even though I don't think they were that old. Thanks for sharing, much love. xx 🙏💖
Love your early morning shot,I'm in Colorado near leadville,and the sunsets are beautiful as well, thanks
Yeah, it was a great sunrise I couldn't see the video starting out any other way. Thanks for watching!
Great explore guys. That cribbing is impressive. The lagging is on the ribs, the ceiling is called the back and the floor, well is the floor. Love the mineralization in there. Them tunnels just keep going and going. That voice though, that was a trip. Thanks for documenting this old mine.
Thanks! The cribbing was very interesting in that they incorporated some of the square set timbers into it. Never seen that before. Quite a bit of lagging in here as well I noticed I said it too much haha. I got mad chills after hearing that voice say rail the first time I reviewed the video. Glad you enjoyed, and thanks for watching!
Fascinating mine and relics! So much shoring and timbering, all the man hours it took, must have been very high grade ore.
It's incredible the amount of artifacts there are, I couldn't imagine crawling through the stopes I bet there's way more to be found. There definitely is alot of timbering, like you said the stuff they were pulling out must have been worth it. Thanks for watching!
WoW! Anther amazing adventure!
18:45 It looks to me like a cable spool that is made with the minimum amount of wood possible.
Yeah definitely a spool from all the comments. Thanks for the input and thanks for watching!
Awesome explore. Plenty of artifacts
Thanks! Many cool artifacts scattered all around, especially in the stopes. Thanks for watching.
Dope and spooky! and that sunrise was gorgeous!
Very spooky, when I first heard that I was so shocked. And the sunrise was something else. A very colorful one. Thanks for watching man!
It might be interesting to note that the shot of the split timber at 7:38min into the explore is not supporting the roof any more and that is the same for any timber in that condition so it could collapse at any time, so if you are exploring be careful.
This mine looks familiar.
Oh does it? Do you think you've been to this one before, or have seen it in other videos? Thanks for watching, by the way.
Fascinating video. You really do a good job on your videos. I enjoyed this. Thank you!
Thanks Cindy! I'm glad you enjoy my videos. Can't wait to release part 2 of this mine.
why are the wheels always missing on the ore carts?
Another great video. Beautiful sunrise. That mine is huge. I get so much anxiety just watching you explore these mines. That voice was creepy. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Bonnie! That sunrise was something else, don't know if I've seen such a beautiful one. That day I believe we did close to 4 miles and that was just doing the upper levels so it really is a huge mine. Imagine if I heard that voice while I was in there I would've freaked out 😂. As always thanks for watching, many more good explores to come.
@@WesternMineDetective definately a spirit in that mine with you.
Jesus , Where did they find all that lumber !
I was wondering the same thing! There's so much stacked up in there.
What a mine................great job guies.........really enjoyed this one.......can't wait for part 2.....get that editing done so we can watch it.................lol
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it, I've already got the editing done and it's ready to go on Monday at 2:30 PM Pacific standard time. Can't wait to drop it. Thanks for watching!
WoW what a great video....Would love to do an exploration like that!!!!
Thanks alot, you sure could if you know the right spots. Thanks for watching!
@@WesternMineDetective I am up in CT and I do a lot of urban exploration of Old Mills, mental hospitals etc. Some really cool places but No Mines like you are exploring.....I will put that on my travel list. Thank you for getting back to me! You have a great style in your mannerisms exploring
I would like to know where is that mine where the ore cars are. I would like to explore it myself and a few others.
OK Fellas, i was 1st in W.E. in 1994, that floor is not false, i seen it in 1994 and its real and it's still there. It's called a bridge. Can a bridge get covered with dirt, yes, perhaps they then become a hazard, as you can't tell if the dirt is covering a wooden bridge. Take it from a guy who has been exploring mines since 1975. I never heard that term used back before youtube and i never use that term, its silly, come on fellas. I have seen mines you will never get to see. There used to be a Model T that burned in a garage close to Columbia near Smugglers Shaft. I found pennies in the back seat from the 30s. There was a working ore cart in W.E. until a clown pushed it over and down a shaft.
Great video. That mine looks cool
Thanks Naomi, it's a very cool one. I'm glad you enjoyed this explore and stay tuned for part 2. I'm sure you'll enjoy that one as well!
Sardine can.
Hope they had good ventilation.
A hard working heavy breathing miner who eats sardines for lunch has all the makings of some pretty bad breath.
Yeah I'm sure they did quite a bit of large ventilation tubing throughout this mine. Sardine breath in a confined space, not pleasant haha. Thanks for watching!
14:50 It possibly didn't have a switch, They called them kickers I believe as you had to stop to kick over the track. Many were even more primitive than that and were unattached at both ends.
Ohh interesting! I didn't know that. Thanks for the info, I could see how they could've kicked it it's pretty easy to move even after 60 or 70 years!
Probably a subsidiary of Anaconda Steel Corporation, a huge American steel conglomerate.
Awesome video.
Thank you! Glad you like it.
It's definitely the moaning of a dead miners ghost whose soul came to rest in this area.
Yeah that's the only explanation I can think of. Thanks for watching!
Great video, planning on heading out there Friday. Would you need a 4x4 to get there?
Depends which entrance you're gonna go into. It's definitely recommended
@@WesternMineDetective much appreciated. I would enter the east side entrance
Awesome!
Thanks alot! Appreciate you taking the time to watch.
Awesome video you have a new subscriber 🤙🏻
Nice! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for subbing! I really appreciate it.
I need new gloves to go with the bike you are sending
Not a old mine round nails
Really a good mine you explored with all the finds ...But you didn't find a Honey Pot. ? ..lol
My buddy Daniel said the accumulator was used as one, I didn't inspect it too closely. Thanks for watching!
I didn't see or hear the scary part
Boxy says Caaarrrrs....CARTS !
11:42 Aghh you left the tap wide open, I know it's not working but you never know it could be blocked and become unblocked.
Lol.... no unexplained stuff, just one of the friends in front of him mumbling something, etc.
You can believe that all you want. It wasn't a mumble you can clearly hear the word "rail". No one's voice in this group comes close to this voice
