Cobalt!

This old mine shaft sits in Cobalt a little sleepy town which once was a bustling city of over 10,000. They found silver in 1902 and by 1905 there were sixteen mines in the area, and in 1911 production exceeded 30,000,000 ounces. Cobalt was the biggest silver mining camp in the world and was known by everyone in North America who ever picked up a newspaper. Mining continued until the 1930's, then slowed to a trickle. Activity renewed in the 1950's then slowly dropped off, and there are no longer any operating mines in the area.
Today it's a cool little town filled with well preserved history and so much charactor!
