Mine in Ophir?

[Patrocks94]

Does anyone know what this mine is and if its privately owned/accessible? +40° 22' 52.37", -112° 15' 48.19"

Looks like it might be the Buckhorn, but I am not sure. I have never been into it. Stuart said that at one time the Buckhorn, Ophir Hill and Hidden Treasure were all connected, but a collapse closed it. The mine is on private property and could be accessed with the proper approval from the owner. I won't mention his name, but I am sure Stuart, Mike, Miah or Crystal would be happy to tell you via private email.

btay801 is right, that is the middle of the 3 buckhorn mines. Currently owned by the Ault family. They are pretty strict about who uses their property.

Miners were originally intending to connect the Ophir Hill to the Buckhorn, however they never did. The Buckhorn mines all interconnect and also connect into the Hidden Treasure mine, and possible into a couple others in that area.

Mike, is the land the Buckhorn is on owned by a different person than the Ophir Hill and Hidden Treasure? I was under the inpression the same owner basically owned most of the mountain that separtes Ophir from Jacob City.

No he is one in the same Leo Ault.

So who is Mr. Skinner then? Just a Ophir resident?

[Derek]

Yes. John Skinner is a part time resident.

He also used to work the Ophir Hill Mine.
