San Diego Gold Mines,Warlock Mine Julian California 1870

There are two mines in the video Warlock Mine and Goldem Gem Mine. The Warlock Mine opening is next to a wrecked car if your having trouble finding. It was in the video but something went wrong in the editing and that's why the screen is black in that segment. Deep in the San Diego's back-country lays one of San Diego County's most productive and prolific mines. San Diego's mining history dates back to 1869, when Fred Coleman spotted gold in a creek bed. The subsequent gold rush boom and bust left a lasting mark and culture in the back country, where the mountains are literally laced with mines. Many have been abandoned, but there are still active claims being mined today. Warlock mine was one of the first discovered in the area surrounding area. Digging began in 1870 and continued until 1957. After operations ceased, the rail track from inside the mine was re-purposed by the Descanso, Alpine & Pacific Railway in Alpine. In 1962, the mine was declared a shelter that could accommodate roughly 220 people. Three years later, the mine experienced a partial collapse and the stored provisions were removed. Perhaps underground shelters aren't the best idea across a canyon from the Elsinore Fault? A portion of the fault is visible  along the base of Volcan Mountain. Prior to the Pines fire of 2002, more structures were intact but today, the processing mill, a house foundation, and the mine shaft itself provide the most opportunities for exploration. The town of Julian got its start as a result of the discovery of gold by a former slave, Fred Coleman, in 1869. The Warlock Mine site is just one of several former mines in the vicinity of the Wilcox Road.
