We took a few new explorers into the Ophir Hill Mine today to explore more of the Miner’s Delight. We took the usual route into the Miners Delight, but took more time to shoot out every side tunnel, pocket, incline, and dirt pile we found. Stuart and Crystal found many generic bottles and a Hercules powerder box. I found an unmarked bottle with a thick fluid still in it, that had a very interstesting design to it, along with a powder box that Crystal though she found first 
. The rocks were beautiful, an oxidized copper based mineral that was found inside many of the ores.
We traveled through the “Big Casino†stope within the Miners Delight, holding to the right wall. Eventually we came to a tunnel that had a collapsed grizzly chute on the floor. We crawled over the top of it, across an old bridge that gapped a shaft, and eventually came to a large stoped out area, which had “Wild Delerium†written in carbide on the wall. Due to time constraints, we had to leave before we could shoot out the many areas of the mine. We plan to return later to continue exploration.
