The Porter Idaho Mine, in the mountains above Stewart BC and Hyder Alaska, is a piece of history like I haven't seen before. This location is really only accessible today by helicopter, and only for several months of the year. The rest of the year, the snow pack will burry this site, and the avalanches pull parts of it further down the mountain all winter long. With this being the case, few people have gotten the opportunity to explore here, leaving what is left as it was when the miners left, with the exception of natural decay. The density of relics left behind is unbelievable, to the point that you can barely take ten steps without finding something.
Having such a short life span, only three years, I am amazed to see the infrastructure that was erected from the ocean all the way to the top of the mountain. Tram lines, mine shafts, buildings and power stations, all left behind after so much work and effort to install.
Since the locations abandonment in 1931, several attempts have been made to restart the mining at this location, but no one has been able to handle the harsh terrain and environment. Today, an estimated 20 million ounces of silver still remain on top of this mountain. With this and other precious metals, there is a billion dollar treasure chest waiting to be opened, for the person that can handle the hunt to find it and bring it back down the mountain.
Thank you to Yellowhead Helicopters for making this adventure happen, and a great big thank you to all of my wonderful Patrons. If you enjoy this channel and you would like to help support future adventures like this, please consider looking at the Patreon page or the Merch line.

I believe that cart had an air pump or compressor on it, not an engine. It has the "I R" logo of Ingersol Rand, a company well known for its manufacture of compressors. It was probably either used as a compressor for rock drills and jack hammers, or may have been an air pump to get air deep into the mine. The size of the pistons lead me to believe it was a high volume pump rather than a high pressure compressor.

@alistairshanks5099
@alistairshanks5099 Год назад
You are right, the cart was a mobile compressor and the big plant at the beginning that he said was a generator plant were also Ingersol Rand compressors. The big verticle tank is the receiver tank. They would have been running a lot of pneumatic machinery and ventilating shafts. Making steam at that altitude would not have been easy so as one guy said they used pelton wheels for hydro power. the power house was probably down lower to get enough head for the hydro to work and if the generators were there then any steam generation would have been there as well.

Your definitely an inspiration as to how to be able to tell a story through your videos. I see all the different camera shots and I know what it takes to do those. I know how many hikes and hillsides it takes to get those awesome shots and how many times you hike to set up a camera just to hike in frame for footage, and then to hike back and get the camera. I don’t think a lot of people pay attention to those details that help tell a story. But anyways.

The big part of it is a two cylinder compressor and whatever sort of engine that powered it is missing and used to sit in front of the compressor.

Generally theyd use horse or donkey power winch and pulley systems to haul things up the mountains using cables. If they were really going for it, theyd use the animal powered system, to haul up hte parts and pieces for a steam engine, and set that up to power whatever they needed to, including the winches and pulleys needed to haul more things up the mountain either by skidding, air tram, or literally however they could get it up there.

@@Destination_Adventure Never again will you transgress, elementary my dear Watson! Tailings is a way to describe particle size, being rather fine in size, and is in fact generally processed waste from the mine. This is the material that requires ponding for it to settle out the solids! The ponds from old mines can be quite high in metals values, is why some junior companies are reprocessing them! This can benefit streams and aquatic environment. The focus in the old days, was to high grade, take the best of anything and move on. This is reflected in what we are left with, we have to go further and further, to find something to harvest or annihilate!

Look at those core samples!!!!! That is some rich ore!
@Saphire_Throated_Carpenter_Ant
That drying thing you were checking out at around 13:00 sure would make a nice smoker! EDIT: I bet those green core samples could be sold as is at a rock and mineral show (if we didn't follow the 'take nothing' rule of course lol)

I always enjoy finding core samples, but there’s really no shortage. They’re all over the mountains, abandoned by the thousands. This brings the value to almost nothing, but they are cool to examine.

I was so happy to find that building. I wasn’t sure it would happen in that dense fog, but I got lucky. Thanks for enjoying.

12:35 That's an awesume old style table. Great find. We never see double pedestal types here in the midwest. Instead, we enjoy banging our toes on goddey table supports that stick out too far & four corner legs. My knee caps just love them more as I turn to exit my chair. Oh boy. Yeah, them miners did a fine job building that table.

Awesum video Dustin , the compressor at 15.00 is an Ingersoll Rand , hence the IR on all their machinery , they were a huge investment in those days and ran the drills and tooling in the mine , they have a massive portfolio here in Australia and worldwide today with air tools and machinery ! Thanx , keep them coming ! Chris..
