PLEASE do NOT, make any derogatory, sexual or inappropriate comments about Missy. They will be deleted and you blocked from my videos.
Do NOT ask the location, as it has kept for 100 years and I do not want to be the cause of it changing or being lost. If you know where it is, keep the secret, and do NOT leave any comments telling everyone. If you do, I’ll delete and block you. I don't mean to be a hard ass but my friends and family are not here for your attempts to be funny. Make fun of me, many do but I could care less :-) I’ve heard it all. Even some of the Anannuki mess with me from time to time.
Beautiful compressor. Can you image how they got it up there. It was used to supply the pneumatic drills with air for drilling those rounds holes you found in the mine to load with a round of Dynamite. Hope no one finds that cabin cause it is in fantastic shape.

+Ask Jeff Williams I didn't see any blocks so maybe just mules. Good thing it's on wheels.
+Ask Jeff Williams Maybe it has a creeper gear hooked up to a chain pulley, so it can pull itself up and over rough terrain, even up steep grades as long as there is an anchor point further up, like a tree. That's how I would have designed it. Still, to haul up enough fuel on a regular basis must have been quite an undertaking. Of course, back when it was in operation, there was likely a well trodden path/roadway where needed.
+Ask Jeff Williams maybe but it looks like there use to be a trail around the edge that just gave way
+PHARRAOH Have you ever hiked Holcomb Valley or near... Plenty of History... Billy Holcomb
in 94 thr 97, worked with one of his ken in long beach, saw the family albums first hand. cool stuff
25:00 is a clutch lever. 25:13 is a sediment bowl. the housing is missing, thats just the bowl (part of the fuel system) that engine is a probably a 4 cylinder continental truck engine with 2 plugs per cylinder.
nothing there now, your guess is as good as it gets
Thanks now I don't have to tell them that.
They say they don't want to tell the location so people won't destroy it yet they are touching and turning everything they find umm...
lmao!
I doubt if they accidentally stumbled across this one, no, somebody told them where it was, There's several more mines around those parts good luck finding them.
They Most likely following high Blanchard’s foot steps. read his articles and you’ll see he isn’t shy when it comes to sharing directions/locations
??? Did you see anything being destroyed in the video?? They can look and touch things without destroying it??
The little glass cup on that flat head motor was the main part of a gas filter.
+mobiltec yes, I was just going to say that. Cool video.
glass sediment bowl to filter gasoline.
Thanks for sharing the old mine. I always enjoy seeing the old places like that when I'm out there. The history is great. But it is bitter sweet for me because the mining companies were and still are a major contributors to destroying the forest and landscape. I wish I could go back in time and see the San Gabriel's when it was a lush green forest , before the logging , smog and beetles killed off a lot of it. My parents would take us to Baldy and Big Bear when I was very young and I have faint memories of the place. I hope I can rediscover it someday.
3nineteen thanks for watching
Was able to find this cabin based off your location and satellite ;)
Great short but steep trip up. Thanks guys!
You don't need no stinking satellite! Map and historic writings. Way more fun. Leave the children's electronic trash at home for the kids. This way, the score is your own and means much more. Keep it to yourself or its all gone. Replaced with vandalism and graffiti. Cheers
I used google maps with satellite imagery. It was still fun looking for it. I need Google maps for work so I’m bound to it! Lol
Be cool to camp there on second floor.
you'd probably have a rat chewing on your sleeping bag
Portable Ingersol-Rand compressor. I can't imagine how much work it was to winch that thing up that mountain side. neat find. Nice video. Hope it stays intact. Is irritating when people find artifacts and then destroy and take them, depriving others of the joy of seeing them. Again, nice video.
They pulled it up there in one piece through the mountains using block & tackle and horses or mules, or they may have used that Model T engine to power winches.
That's a good Theory,,...and could hold up,....But from the rough terrain I could see in the video clip,..I believe that the original Mining crews years ago, they took the compressor apart FIRST,..then either by Pack-Horse,..or by using pack-Mules, hauled it piece by piece to the mining location,,...,When they got the compressor to its current location, they put it all back together...then they BUILT the Storage shed & bunk room around it,....that is a sleeping Loft above the compressor room,....
actually it was, "Brooks was here" then,
"So was Red."
what did I win...they won freedom.
Clutch pedal and the glass was a fuel bowl for the filter
Thanks
Your welcome , good video and good work.
My Dad told me about abandoned cabins and places he found in the fifties when he lived in Baldy Village, old places, full of tools, and lanterns. He worked at a ski resort, at the time was a rope pull ski place, and saw a guy try to beat the beat the world's downhill speed record record, which he did, but didn't survive! This was attempted at the backside of Mt. Baldy! In, the eighties, I worked, for Mtn. High Ski Resort!
If you search TH-cam there's some guy who skis the Northwest side of Iron Mountain 3/4 of the way down and then he climbs back up!
I have been there as a kid with my family in 1978, my dad drove up and we hiked in, I remember it taking about 3 hours to get in to that cabin, I don't know where it is but always wanted to go back. and this video was awesome to see the very same stuff still there. We saw mountain goats when we were there. ThanX
plus umm, your breathing and huffing and puffing more than usual.
JackRaven44 i took the straight up route, rather than walk around the ridge. it was dang near straight up!
You have to wonder why they hauled all that stuff out there for a 60 foot deep mine that never produced. Then you have to ask , how the hell did they haul that motor in there. That's crazy , even in pieces it would be almost impossible without a caravan of mules. It just doesn't make any sense, all that stuff would have cost a fortune back then ,
gold fever does strange things to men, even to kill another. Its a sickness
Most people won't even try going here, but I'm glad you didn't disclose the location, even though I would love to hike there.
It is still in good shape, but somebody stole the old stove. Amazing to see something like this in such great condition so close to LA!
I've found three more in far better condition one of them still have some of the tools the guy used to use and the bed is still there although the mattress is gone rotted away
Wonderful video Alan. Seems you have found an explorer with the same ambition as you. I noticed she was not breathing as hard as you were too.. I like her. :-)
I have a pretty good feeling that the mountain side looked much different when the miners first moved up there. They most likely used bulldozers and tractors to cut a road and drag all that equipment up there. Time and erosion has just taken it all out. That's why your seeing all that equipment strewn about..
Always fun coming along with you. I always loved checking out old ghost towns and mines when I was younger. Now all those places are gone or won't be around much longer. In the future, if there's anything left, kids will be digging up Toyotas and scratching their heads.. :-)
saradreaming I climbed directly up the ridge, she worked her way around the back, thus, the breathing! it was dang near straight up! :-)
I think you gave enough information that I could find this place, a little bit of research required.
Glad you are keeping the site secret so people dont mess it up or steal the stuff there. :-)
Thanks for watching
@@PHARRAOH I have been watching for a few years now just never left a comment. But they are all GREAT videos.
how did they get that stuff and equipment there in the day? unless there was a road one time. could that old road not still be walked to get there? great video, thank for sharing
David Goodridge piece by piece with man power and mule. check the alison mine! that was the amazing one! so hard to get to, so high, water falls and tight canyon trail. amazing
Great adventure/exploring trip, amazing what is still out there. take care
***** imagine how many hundreds and hundreds of prospects were being worked back then!
Awesome video! Hope you're doing well.
thank you. I am but my forest is burning down. so much already gone and zero containment! Your last video was awesome. You went there years back, well close. saw that one too. great videos
Hey pharaoh, how's it going. Name is Leon. Anytime you go out on your hikes and want someone to go with. I rarely ever pass up an adventure in the mountains. Currently right now I'm recovering from a broken leg 6 months ago. Just started walking again a month ago. I say by spring time if not summer time. I'll be going on my adventures at east fork san gabriel river. Take care man
I was hit by a car at 16 years old, leg broken in 7 places. They said I'd never walk unassisted again. 1.5 years later, I did. I've backpacker all over California, dome in AZ. Russia, Israel. Don't give up
Watch for invite videos when you're ready
thanks pharraoh & missy, nice to see that cabin still standing,nice compressor on wheels.
These people are doing cool things and documenting it so everyone can experience it. What a shame they have to fend off derogatory and or sexual comments from people. What has this world come to? I'm just trying to do some virtual exploring while I heal from shoulder surgery. Thanks for making it and I really enjoyed watching. I apologise for the rudeness you have to deal with but just know that most people are good. Anyway, I'm off my soapbox now and thanks for the great video.
Thank you for watching their more than 700 more nearly 800 now I believe. Have a great week
I'm going through them now. Gonna go adventuring after lunch lol.
Ingersol Rand, made air compressors!
Thank you
Cool hike . I hope it doesn't attract a bunch of vandals ,or the forest service decides to tear it down.(like everything else)
awesome video! I want to go there!!!
Stanley Miller mine.. past bridge to nowhere on the right side in the Iron fork... thank me later
I've been to Stanley Miller over the past 10 years I probably been there 20 times. I've been to every mine in the San Gabriel mountains yes even the ones on the backside of baldy checked through my videos and you'll Litterally find hundreds of them with mines. Some of them in areas you would never guess there were mines. Some flooded where we swam in the water to explore. Yes I have found every mine in the San Gabriel mountains even about 50 of them that are not on any maps. Thanks me now and later
Thank me later
Pretty sure the piece of glass bottle was from a 5 gallon Magnetic Spring Water which read "From the Hills of Hollywood". Another awesoe video!
You got to love google Earth
They sure hauled a lot of equipment up there for such a short adit! Might be more holes in the landscape nearby? Great stuff!
Rob Farrow perhaps but we searched a quarter mile radius at least
There's a shaft nearby but it was sealed shut by the forest service when the hwy was built.
Seems like a huge effort to haul that big compressor, one 4 cylinder, and one 8 cylinder engine all the way up there for a mine that only went 50 feet. I don't get the logic. Am I missing something? Still though, way cool adventure. Thanks.
Maybe its a time machine
We. Say yes!
Just hike down through the San Gabrial Valley, you will find everything!
the made them to be able to move. I think they came with the wheels... here in Yuma at the castle dome mines theres an older engine with wheels on it that powered a stamp mill.
cool video liked it a-lot thanks.i,m from southern California but new to this area have been exploring a bit around that area. i am disabled so don,t worry i cant make it to that spot ..i live vicariously through videos like this .thanks again [ i would never say anything rude about Missy .she seems like a neat person .wish to meet someone like her to explore with sorry people are rude to her and you rise above and keep up the cool post]
thank you Glenn, peace be with you.
Amazing
what, Missy, or the miners cabin :-) I'd say both
Awesome ... a lot of history in this video! thanks
Jim Furman thanks for the support Jim. Have a great day
I will not back out. Please invite me. Looks like fun!
Great adventure loved going with you two today!! Love exploring old mines and the equipment!! Take care my friend. ..... Jimmy ..... Till the next one...........
altecman21 another one coming up soon. youll like this one
Really cool part of history right there. Great videos.
+Pharraoh I'm only 2 minutes into this video and already, it is the best hiking video I've seen! Thanks for posting!!
thanks Bobby, it doesnt hurt to have the most beautiful woman in the area in the video. but I have nearly 500 and many far better in my eyes. :-)
The small glass cup you showed on the engine looks like one that was used on the fuel filter. It could be removed and the cup cleaned. Showed whether there was water in the fuel.
***** thats what I was thinking. thanks
Thanks for taking us with you. Lots of interesting things on this trail. The mine, cabin and contents are full of interesting history.
NWIPrepper19113 yeah it was really interesting and filled me with energy
you were a little off on your movie quote. the carving read " Brooks was here.... so was Red " Shawshank redemption... It looks like you had a great days, thanks for bringing us along!
David Cauley thanks and thanks for watching
A throttle pedal ? Does it look like its going to a carburetor son ? Bhaaahahaha that's a clutch pedal son ! I can tell your young , lucky you ! That motor is Very Nice with the plugs in it, i bet is still rebuildable !
thank you sir
The glass bulb you were wondering what it was before you chucked it was a glass bulb that went to vintage gas filter.
Thank you and thanks for watching
HEY WHAT YOU KIDS DOING THERE? (old caretaker confronting hikers)
+BOYCOTT PC nutin, just looking around
Yes Ingersol Rand still build compressors
Right by caltrans.
Did you ever think that maybe that was pay dirt inside that can you dump out everywhere
Yes of course, in all of the mines there is Pay Dirt
Looks like a straight 8 automotive engine and part of a trans.. maybe buick
SuperStr8edge makes you wonder?
oh ya ,shawshank redemption .brooks was here and so was red
you got it! awesome movie. get bust dying, or get busy living
looks like y'all had a hell of an adventure!
+backwater bible yea, we had a blast. I walked a few more trails with her but haven't heard from her in a long time now. ???
That machine is not a portable "Ball Mill". I was mistaken LOL....
mobiltec I found one still complete, no, two. allison and stanely miller, both very cool finds. thanks
PHARRAOH I have to build something similar on my claim at Shadow Mountain... And it has to be portable.
mobiltec That is NOT a ball mill. It's an air compressor. The engine in the front, the compressor in the rear and the air tank on top. They use it to run the air drill for blasting. The wheels are there because that's how they got it there. There was no doubt they made a crude road to the spot. But, of course, by now, there would not be a trace of it left.
James Henry You are correct. After looking again I can see that the "tank" does not spin. At first glance it looked as though the tank spun.
mobiltec The wheels are to transport the air compressor to site. Draw by mules/oxen/ horses on a quickly made trail/road.
the glass cup near the ford motor is part of the gas filter cool it is hardly touched up thair
Ted Teti thank you
brooks was here and so was red. shawshank redemption
+DAN THMAN one of the all time best films
Very cool. You mentioned in video that you take people hiking. Do you post meetups?
I DID, until people began complaining and trying to have me customize it for them and their schedule. But every now and then, I post a video for a meet up or hike, camp, or gear sale. Keep watch
Compressors also
Even though the compressor was self contained, I believe a source of water would have been imperative, unless they spent a lot of time hauling water. Possibly one of the engines drove a pump that brought water from a water source. It seems that the mine had to be a productive mine, or there is another mine nearby,
+RadicatTat Okay, I found in an article about this mine picturing a water tower there near the cabin that has since collapsed. Also there is another shaft that has been sealed nearby. Now the investment in effort and money makes more sense.
+RadicatTat there are pipes leading to the creek below scattered all over
+RadicatTat it was most likely Hugh Blanchard article, he was well known for this
It has always amazed me how the old miners got that heavy equipment up to those old mines back around the turn of the century. Thanks for the adventure.
Jim Fariello your welcome and thanks for watching
That's the old Boatwright prospect, primary mineral: Molybdenum, 60 FT ADIT IN QTZ VEIN TRACE AMOUNTS OF MOLYBDENUM, Land ownership: Unknown, Reference: U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY BULLETIN 1230-G, 1967, P. 11. Location: Lat, Long: 34.3167, -118.00500, Elevation: 5,240 feet -1,597 meters, right next to the Angeles National Forest service building, can see cabin from google earth to the east of Angeles Crest HWY in a near canyon...There is no need to hide what is not a gold mine brother adventurers! If it were the real lost Dutchman's mine I would understand! Sorry to bust ur secret spot but it's not really not that much of secret brother... Prospector Ty....
say what you will part of History does the stove still sitting there obviously people haven't found it otherwise they would have pillage the village so there is no bubble to burst I just don't want graffiti and trash left all over the place like everything else party on Garth
you couldn't be more wrong about the name of this mine shoe Blanchard did a big write-up on it about 5 years before he died you can find the story online you can see pictures of him standing by it I think that guy's a bit more knowledge than you and I put together about mines
God bless you
I haven't read the comments. Ingersoll Rand is known for air compressors. Miners used compressed air for the drills they used for mining ore. The Ford engine is a 4 cylinder truck engine. It had two spark plugs per cylinder.
I don't know why wheels on the compressor frame would be such a mystery. How else would you get it up and down the hillsides? Steel wheels to roll it using ropes, block and tackle, perhaps a winch mounted on a truck or mules.
That looks like a shed for the old early 1900s stationary engine. At 33:54 you'll see a large metal rod (made up of lots of rods to some location) that the engine would crank continuously back and forth to run something (?, crusher,..) at the other end.
Second engine is an old tractor engine.
+Tbear37144 thank you
hmmm...flat belts were the most common way of transferring power. Rolling the engine back and forth and possibly blocking in place could have been a belt tension solution?
I still can't get over how hard it was for you two to climb up there and yet they managed to haul all that equipment up the grade.
tazmun possibly. wheels??? hmmmm
tazmun That always blows me away too. I imagine there had to be a proper road at one time to get there. Over the last 90 years with erosion and growth, nature took it back.
reminds me of my childhood, I helped my dad part out an abandoned 32 Chevrolet, we got the whole drive train, spare parts for his, it had a wooden bed where the rumble seat usually was, that he removed, he never could find a trunk lid, years after he passed, after my mom sold it, I found out it was a sedan delivery, one of only 100 made! the predecessor of the pickup truck!-''
The movie was The Shawshank Redemption and the carving on the rafter said "Brooks was here" and Morgan Freeman's character wrote "so was Red".
Going through some of the comments on now people back then Hull those equipment to that location.... surprised that no one mention the possibility of waiting for winter and take advantage of the snow.
thanks for watching
@@PHARRAOH thanks for sharing
Glad you had a fine time Pharraoh. The footage was remarkable and beautiful as always...
Stari Night thanks for watching. you should film some in your area before moving on
PHARRAOH If I move on it won't be this year. I got pushed under water by one of my buddies & drank some river water & now am sick as a dog all day. Could a water bug hit me that quick? gurgle gurgle..
Stari Night no but a flu is going around. took me our friday morning till sunday afternoon. it sucked
PHARRAOH Uggg the flu bug. Maybe it was the fish tacos I cooked (denies being a bad cook) Well, at least I got the guy back by racing him across the river & beating him by a mile. And I'm 20 years older then him. Sorry you were ill Alan..
Not far from the highway, getting there is another story. Visited this in the 80's. Better left untouched.
+john burens yep, better left alone
you guys would have a blast in the town of bodie
+N395.Bubba thanks for watching
Bell Hartman mine location is hard to find, but the cabin is about 1/4 mile off angeles crest hwy.
I want to take you out for dinner and a beer and hear your stories and plan a trip pharroaoh. Contact me bro. I know Daniel Savage at East fork.
+Christopher Chavira just got back from a 3 day, cleaning gear for the next. Keep in touch, Ill let you know
Thanks looking forward to it.
IR make tools to this day. Just not engines. IR impacts are the best!!!
This is awesome I hope everyone else that finds this place does the same as u in this video and doesn't explain where it is exactly either
What a find!!! So cool. Great video. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to go on an adventure with you sometime.
thanks for watching
another awesome video, thanks for sharing.
+Awalinsd42 thanks for watching. Merry Christmas
+PHARRAOH thank you! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year as well!
Brooks was here....so was Red. Shawshank Redemption
great movie, unrelated, Brooks and Range went out of business. the guy retired.
copy!
Wow great video
thank you for watching. I found some incredible new cabins, check back in a few days
Brooks was here, Shawshank Redemption......
Loaiza Cam theyll be a black stone that clearly, does not belong there....."-)
:-)
I know exactly where you are. Look for my initials on the post
Shawshank Redemption and it was actually "Brooks was here, so was Red"
Love that movie and this video too, keep up the good work.
Brudda Man one of the best, right up there with jeramya Johnson :-)
That was a really special find. Just as it was left.
Oregon Mike it was awesome Mike, Missy is exchanging mine for mine with me these days. I show her a place I found, she shows me one her and her boyfriend visited. Long time since I met anyone with the appetite for going walking like her. I bet she takes over where I leave off one day
Our asphalt pavers are made by Ingersoll Rand. They still make heavy equipment for road construction.
shurppa64 thanks
DID THEY MAKE A LOT OF MONEY?
+telena helotova yes, it was a large gold rush time, tom vinvent was one of the top money makers with his big horn mine
That engine looks like a packard straight eight.
Mornin, Alan; This was a super trip 4 the 2 of U. Really enjoyed the trek. Will check out Missy-s channel Thanks 4 sharing this with us Friend. Have a great week, Ahead.
Happy Trails from The Maritimes In Canada ATB Terry
God Bless
T.W. Milburn thanks for watching
Steam to power drills
thanks. merry Christmas
Cool exploring trip. Fun stuff.
***** it was fun, always fun to score a cool find. thanks
Makes you wonder how the heck they got that heavy equipment all the way up there...
btw Those holes were drill holes for blasting (please forgive me, I don't mean to sound patronizing)
Awesome videos dude! I miss hiking in the San Gabriel's!
Mike Bryant it sure is. thanks
Appears to be a rare ford block. Could be worth thousands in any condition. Believed to be a 1932 flathead 8 cyl
worth more right where it is. kids can see it and enjoy it there
those dots on top that tank are old style rivets
It's amazing that place has stayed preserved for so long Alan. I guess that comes from being secluded. Would you be interested in staying the night on the second floor of that building. I bet you would hear some strange notices.
RedSetterDude it was a real eye opener seeing this spot for sure
Great video but when folks are watching there is a lot of moving too fast with the camera which kind of gives a vertigo effect .
Obviously you cant help it and there is no editing , here in the U.K in the 1970,s there was an Ingersol-Rand depot near where i lived and outside a few compressor units on wheels . I guess they hauled that up to the mine somehow , they all had wheels being mobile units , that,s the way they were designed to be .
just a hand held Canon vixis cam. best it can do. sorry. the end, we had a few beers, then walked back to my truck. but it was pitch black and came out blurry
The compressor set was built with wheels. Ingersoll Rand still makes compressors. I suspect the compressor set was placed there with a high line cable system.
That "throttle peddle is actually the clutch peddle on that old straight eight car engine.
o2wow thank you for the info
Yes but they aren't vandalizing it
Great Video, one of your better ones! I think you missed the real mine Audit.
There was way to much waste rock and all that equipment for 100 foot of tunnel.
That mine was at least 3 years old at the minimum, bare minimum... you don't invest all that equipment when your just starting up and the mines didn't get shut down until the 40's when the war started.
Thanks for preserving the location and equipment well done, last thing we need is scrappers attacking that great piece of history. Take it to your grave.
thanks, will do
