The Empire Mine was the shining diamond of the setting of the gold rush, producing 5.8 million ounces of gold during its operation between 1850 and 1956. There are 367 miles worth of shafts and tunnels, most of them abandoned and flooded. The mine may have been closed long ago, but it still a tourist attraction.
