The Bachelor-Syracuse Mine Tour takes you 1,800 feet horizontally into Gold Hill, rich in gold, silver, and other precious metals. You are accompanied by a thoroughly trained guide who has first-hand experience working the mine. The guide is prepared to answer questions and eager to share the legend and lore of the mine. You will see the equipment used in mining, the rich silver veins, and other mineral deposits. The stopes, declines, crosscuts, run-a-rounds and drifts are explained. You visit the work areas and see how explosives are used (even though there are no explosives underground currently.)
