The Cliffs Shaft Mine however was a true success. Burt knew that the mine property had to be saved for future generations. He is the reason the mine is here today. We were proud to give Burt the honor of opening the property to tourism on June 29th 2002. After he guided its handover on September 19th, 1998 from CCI. This mine will stand in recognition of one mans foresight in historcal preservation. |
