Regarding barns being red: Long ago farmers would seal their wood barns with Linseed oil, they would mix in Iron Oxide to prevent mold and rot, this why all those old old barns are still red as they rot into the earth.
The steel block directly out in front of the tunnel was used by surveyor when digging the tunnel. Aka a surveyors marker. Used to keep digging straight from start to finish when the tunnel was being built.
I definitely learned a lot from this video. Fascinating how all the drifts connect to a single tunnel like this. Shows these old timers were serious. Thanks for yet another excellent video Jeff. So come on, LET'S GOOOOOOO!
So much history!! This was absolutely incredible! Thank y'all for sharing this! Man I wish I could go back in time and see it all in it's glory. I'd put myself to work immediately and stay. Haha
What a awesome historical story. Thanks Chris, Jeff, and Lila for an fart smellin adventure into our mining history. The restoration is coming along great and hope to see the Sutro Tunnel cleaned out so we can see the whole thing. Yeah Jeff, you gotta be our tour guide. Love how Lila goes around while the guys are talking inside the buildings. Jeff is like a mouse running around too fast for Lila to catch up. Haha. Love it guys. Shhhh, let's go!
Awesome visit back in history. You ever go to the old iron mines of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan? I know they don't hold any gold but they find gold along the shore of lake superior and there used to be a silver mine out in the lake.
Areet Jeff ❤️💛💚👍 great video man. Very interesting video. Fun fact for ya in this country people used to keep farm animals on the ground floor and the family would live upstairs. The animals would be safe from thieves and family would be warm from the body temperature of the animals. I used to live in a house from the 1600's which started out that way.
Many old barns were painted red as Iron Ore was crushed and mixed with linseed oil. It was a fairly easy process that many people could do for themselves.
Auction or sell off old Timbers to raise money for repairs Mabee sell the rocks and dirt that is removed as well lots of us would buy stuff like that for repurpose or just to have it hang on a wall in our gold room. Heck I’d put a rock on a shelf from that!!!!!! Just a thought. Like if you agree!!!
Hey Jeff I HAVE ONE of those planers but really it's a molder you can make ship lap siding ,moldings wood gutters any thing , the one I have was made in 1876
My dad took me there back in the early 70's. One of his bar buddies lived there. Back then, the entrance was collapsed. It was a fun time exploring the area. Glad to see work being done on it! Yes I will be donating to it.
Thank you Jeff I always enjoy seeing that old buildings from yesteryear I always enjoy it I'm glad it's still around thank you very much for the tour and thank you friend
I think that's a brilliant idea shotCrete . By applying the proper structure for the future generations to explore and have tours and teachable Moments in a safe environment. Virginian city is a wonderful place to enjoy our past highlights. Great job everyone. 💪
Awesome 💯🆒 love to see stuff rebuilt to original. Old machinery, timber structures and learning the high that goes with it. I live in Australia and am in a wheelchair. I have read of the Constock Load . I just thought it was a fictional story
Well that's just great. Been up on that big giant berm out in front of that place many a day looking down wondering how I could get through them gates. Been over, around, but never through that place cuz I respect no trespassing signs these parts. Then along comes this tenderfoot, says I'm Jeff Williams and they just open up the gate and let him waltz right in. lol. Always wonder what was in some of those dilapidated looking buildings. When you're standing facing the gate up to your left a little bit you'll see the beginning of a real colorful canyon with all this real pretty rock on it's sides. You can see they did a lot of exploratory work out there back in the day till they realized there was no gold or silver on this side of the mountains. If you go down into that canyon for the first few hundred feet you'll see nothing but bedrock at first because I believe over the years the water coming down washed out the dirt at the bottom, but after you get past that it's a trail that will take you right up to the mountain ridge and will you be looking down at all these trails that fan out towards Virginia City, 6 Mile canyon and such. As you start up it you're running right along side Sutro tunnel I believe because every so often you'll see these big vent stacks, coming right up out of nowhere through the ground. Then it turns and runs right along the mountainside until you hit the ridge. There's a little monument up there says something but I can't remember what cuz this was years ago. Pretty hairy part when you get up there. I do believe this was a trail/road they used to bring wagons up/down between Sutro and Virginia City because it's a straight shot instead of going all the way around down 6 Mile or down thru Dayton.... and yeah, I was probably sitting on the couch eating chips about a mile down the road while you were running around out there. Was sitting eating some more while watching this... Sorry this turned into an essay. LOL
THANK YOU LELA FOR GREAT CAMERA WORK,CHRIS FOR SHOWING JEFF AROUND AND JEFF FOR THE GREAT PLAY BY PLAY..WOW,,I SEEN A FEW YTers GO HERE BUT NEVER IN TUNNEL OR SUCH A IN DEPTH TOUR OF LOTS OF BUILDINGS..THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH..SAFE TRAVELS..
Jeff my brother this is in my back yard, I am here in Reno love all the history here in this part of Nevada I just need to find good places close to detect for gold and dry wash since I love gold lol
Sunny Jim, thanks for the History Lesson....Very Sketchy mine...But most Excellent Pee Ditch....😁...You must have lots of money to be able to hire a most Beautiful Photographer.....You da man...........Wondering if this mine has any worm people?......Thanks for the video old son.................JB.✌
Wow great tour. Jeff really liked that spiral staircase time to add onto the cabin and put one in. Jeff always has so much energy he can scamper up and down those spiral steps like no problem. Us couch sitting chip eaten beer drinkin lazy fart smellers I mean pretty smart fellers not so much. Thank you for taking us along great job on the camera work MS Lila love your show.
This is an awesome video keep on going with the Exelent content and that great attitude 👍, How about a water drone for under water Footage, Peace on the middle east!!!
Thank you Jeff for visiting us and helping to spread the word of our efforts to restore the tunnel and site! You're energy is contagious and there is so much more that I and everyone else can learn from you. You're welcome out again any time!
you betcha ....we had so much fun and we want to thank you for having us come out and explore this beautiful piece of History ..... we hope many will Donate to get the Tunnel opened up s many can see what History looks like from over 100 years ago .... hope to see you guys again soon .
Hi Jeff what a fascinating video and brilliantly put together. I hope you do a follow up video as and when he starts to clear the way into the Tunnel and drains that water. Well done Jeff for this one as I’ve never heard of the Sutro tunnel and I’m finding it very interesting. Come on Jeff letsssss goooooo. 👍👏👏👏
It is my understanding that, by the time the tunnel reached the mines, the workings were well below the tunnel so that it was of less value for drainage. The "bank crowd" that controlled many of the mines frowned on the tunnel as it competed with their Virginia and Truckee Railroad and the mills they owned on the Comstock and along the Carson River. The planer is actually a moulder or matcher as it did the edges as well as the top. Probably, the side cutters could do profiles such as tongue and groove or shiplap. Very informative video. How hot was the water coming from the tunnel?
It is nice to re-visit the Sutro tunnel. I've learned a few things more than before, by watching Mr. Jeff Williams's video On the Sutro Tunnel, as usual He produces a record of Historic Interest. From my own experience. I recognize people have been clearing the fail out to make it safer for entry, still until there is a way to stabilize rock fall, that's not safe to enter. Water, Gases, mold, falling rock, rusty metal cause safety issues and all of the other mining safety issues apply to the Sutro Tunnel inherent to Old Mining. Can't trespass other mine owners thru the Sutro, so without an agreement, we are at the end, until we go ASK JEFF WILLIAMS and he gets in there to take us inside those Mines. Because that's where the greatest mine explore exists on this Norh American Continent, Today.
Wow what a awesome amazing place. Thank you Jeff for showing us this. Those guys are doing a beautiful job restoring everything. I love that American people like this want to preserve history. I'm in Australia and this doesn't happen, especially with old mines. If I wasn't in Australia I would love to volunteer my work.
Thank you Jeff, Chris, and Lila on a fantastic historical journey to one of the greatest places in Nevada history !!! So awesome to see so much stuff that probably hasn't be revealed in a century !! Can't wait to get a tour !! 🤠⛏⚒👍👍
WHAT A FANTASIC PROJECT well done so far. bet you have checked that swimming pool and drain pond for gold enjoyed this one cool man thanks for recording it, Jeff and your lovely camara operator
Yeeee Haaaa. Well done Lila on your videoing and Jeff on your editing.. Awesome team work guys.. Just so much history on these old mines and of course..not to mention how many young men lost their lives in the mining ⛏ industry to.. Thanks for sharing this guys.. Cheers Famo59 👍🍻⛏🤓
THEY BUILT IT FOR VENTILATION!?! GEEEWILUPPERS! They had enough time and money to build a tunnel just so they could have good air!! Man alive, they'd have sent a child down there instead in the UK! 😅 😉
fixing my house up as a result of woodworm and pulled up a bunch of 150+ year old nails up out the wood. They're square, but, have a J bend at the top. They're an absolute BUGGER to get up too...well, not quite as much as first fix nail gun nails though!
I've got real mixed feelings about Virginia City. On January 10, 2022 one step on some ice and I went flying in the air and when I came down I broke my left arm totally in half. By the grace of God a paramedic was standing there and called the ambulance. Ouch is an understatement. I'm afraid to go back there but I had never stepped on ice before and I was 64. Back when men were men. A lot of broken bones and a lot of lost lives. Still, a very cool spirited old unchanged town.
oh man...they NEED to keep that old enamel sink unit in that 70s dude's house...that's 1950s Americana right there!! People would top there arms off for it these days...they use them in camper vans and such like these days. They're really quite nice looking too when done up

Awesome video Jeff i love the historie.
Nice history. However I do not see this ever being repaired unless millions of dollars are donated. Best of wishes.
@@MakingUsThink similar was said about Cerro Gordo, and look how far Brent has gotten with it.
@@scottmarshall4996 exactly
Thanks Chris thanks for making it happen
for me. this is my favorite video you and your wife have made. thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Regarding barns being red: Long ago farmers would seal their wood barns with Linseed oil, they would mix in Iron Oxide to prevent mold and rot, this why all those old old barns are still red as they rot into the earth.
Linseed oil rust and milk
@@DryLakeMiningCo49 thanks
Our barn on our farm was red when I was a kid, then I painted it white, I wished later that I would have left it red.
The house was white because they would whitewash it and use the "expensive" stuff to protect their money maker, aka the barn.
And Epstein didn’t kill himself
Awesome job Jeff on spreading the word and keeping history alive
MOST SATISFACTORY....keep up the good work
Thanks! Will do!
Great video Jeff!
Thanks!
Jeff must be hilarious at a party
What a remarkable piece of history Jeff you outdid yourself with this absolutely amazing
thanks ...we have always loved this place and Virginia City
Fantastic tour Jeff, thanks. When I watch this video all I can think of was Bonanza, and the Ponderosa. 🤠👷♂️
Glad you enjoyed it
The steel block directly out in front of the tunnel was used by surveyor when digging the tunnel. Aka a surveyors marker. Used to keep digging straight from start to finish when the tunnel was being built.
Bingo
I definitely learned a lot from this video. Fascinating how all the drifts connect to a single tunnel like this. Shows these old timers were serious. Thanks for yet another excellent video Jeff. So come on, LET'S GOOOOOOO!
i live just down the road from the Sutro tunnel. Im so glad someone is finally restoring it
thats great
Fantastic 🤗 knew about the sutro tunnel had no clue that community was all out there! Or that folk were living out there into the 70’s 😳 … ✌️🤙
So much history!! This was absolutely incredible! Thank y'all for sharing this! Man I wish I could go back in time and see it all in it's glory. I'd put myself to work immediately and stay. Haha
thanks
What a awesome historical story. Thanks Chris, Jeff, and Lila for an fart smellin adventure into our mining history.

Love how Lila goes around while the guys are talking inside the buildings. Jeff is like a mouse running around too fast for Lila to catch up. Haha. Love it guys. Shhhh, let's go!
Excellent video Jeff, this is so awesome to see all this history returning to it's former glory, how extraordinary !
never mind gold or silver mining. With the price of wood right now that place is a lumber mine :P
That telegraph machine…. Never have I heard of such a device. It had letters and numbers… mind blown. 👍👍👍
Watching your channels does bring history into your geology information. This fantastic. Thank you Jeff!
I'd come out and detect it for you. Bet we could find all kinds of lost history and money. Would be cool to add it to the museum for those to see
Love the tour..
The planer looks like the one I used back in junior high, I'm SOoooooo old.
Dang

Thanks Max .....really appreciate that too
Hey Jeff I HAVE ONE of those planers but really it's a molder you can make ship lap siding ,moldings wood gutters any thing , the one I have was made in 1876
You didn’t mention how hard to hit the like button and I broke my screen. Any chance you could help me replace it😂

This is so awesome, I'm glad to see this being restored the right way
thanks Scott
@@Askjeffwilliams oh you betcha
Should tell them to save any timbers that arent rotten. I'd buy a few for turning stock.
Lots of great history right there. The Friends of Sutro are doing a lot of good work. Thanks for showing us around and sharing your knowledge, Jeff!
yes they are ......you betcha T and J
Thank you Jeff I always enjoy seeing that old buildings from yesteryear I always enjoy it I'm glad it's still around thank you very much for the tour and thank you friend
you betcha
I just got back to Nevada Jeff I'm ready for some of that mine work. Hit me back
Thoroughly enjoyed this video , great vacation destination
I'd be metal detecting for sure especially around the saloon and buildings
The creepiest thing is where is that music coming from? Always a mystery.
Get out those waders and paddle boards. COME ON LETS GOOOOOO.
what an amazing place i hope they manage to restore and open up the whole site!
I wonder how big those holes are on that gate?
I can fit through a 10 inch square hole
I was on the edge of my seat about why they always painted barns red....🤣
Ohhhh I always enjoyed crawling over old roof falls,,,,,, NOT !!!! Them was some pretty tuff old guys,,,, just an old MSHA guy
they were tough as nails
You didnt tell me to hold my breath when you dropped the camera down the shaft
