Reeve-Dobie


Just north of the Bartlett mine was the Reeve-Dobie mine (named after the 2 lakes on either side of the find) . It operated intermittently since 1908 and was closed down in the fall of 1920. High grade ore was found to occur in open cuts. Later a mill was erected to process small veinlets containing native silver.
This mine has now been decommisioned meaning capped and vented, with all structures now taken down.
These pictures are courtesy of Paul Trudel and were photographed around 1996.
