Cache is set at the ruins of the Osceola Mine #5 Hoist House. Shaft is across the road between road and rock piles.
Osceola organized in 1873. Taken over by C&H in 1909, and ran till 1931. In the 1950’s they re-opened the #5 and 6 shafts till the 1968 labor strike. When the #5 was reopened, the boiler house for the mine had already been scrapped. A steam line was run from the boiler at the #6 to the #5. The concrete steam tunnel can still be found, running from the hoist house south to the #6. Produced 190 million lbs. of copper. Shafts 5 and 6 on old Opechee mine property.
