I'm not sure, but the interior cleanup may have been at least moderately recent. What's happening in the goldfields around Victor is fascinating. Nowadays, instead of doing things the old way, illustrated in the Vindicator mine processing building I've attached, they simply remove the earth, as shown here. The countryside is full of piles of tailings that must tower four or five hundred feet above their surroundings. One of them covers the remains of the little ghost town of Elkton, which I shot in the sixties. With the price of gold where it is, mining has increased exponentially, and Victor is gradually coming back as a bedroom community for people associated with the mining operations. I plan to spend more time shooting in the goldfields this summer.
