Geocache Description:



One of the many mines on this tour from the
“War Eagle Mountain Field Trip Historical and Mining Road Log book”
prepared by Wilma Lewis Statham w/H.R. ‘Rusty’ Statham and William P. Statham

You can pick up a copy of this at the Owyhee County Museum in Murphy or at the Idaho Hotel in Silver City.
You can make this loop w/out the book but with the information of what you are looking at and a detailed map of the area the tour is unbeatable.

This is the OSO mine and was one of the two tunnels that accessed the Poorman Mine.
