Description: Mrs. Jack Neph, part owner of the Adventure Mining property, here is crouched near the entrance to one of the early adits dug by miners back as far as 1850. The miners took what copper there was in a highly indescriminate manner. They paid attention only to the metal derived and cared nothing as to how the shafts or adit would appear. Therefore, there is no regularity to the digging. The property was open to tourists as the Adventure Tourist Mine. [Photo of a woman about to enter the mine.]
