Upper Tunnel Portal in Downtown Copperfield

Taken: Circa 1948
Caption: Upper Tunnel Portal in Downtown Copperfield
Additional Description: The narrow canyon and limited roadways made tourist traffic a major headache at the upper tunnel portal. Even then, tourists were flocking to an impromptu visitor's center on the edge of the pit, downhill several short blocks from the tunnel. Schoolboys raided mine company ore bins for rock samples for the tourists to buy and hired themselves as "expert" tour guides.
