Anyone ever find a mine right around there?

Doc4261,

As you are going up Cane Spring Canyon and get to the ruin of Brown's cabin and the spring, ..... if you continue on past the spring (uphill) in a north, slightly northeast direction for about a mile you will come on 8-10 fairly deep down shafts and a tunnel or two back into the mountainside. This would be a ways east of the old dirt road and in a side canyon that eventually runs down and across that road. There are other shafts and diggings around there but you have to hunt them out of the thick brush.

Thanks, Not the one I was looking for maybe the one im looking for is a placer but the gold had ot come form somewhere. But those mines do fit a piece of the puzzle.
