Gold Rush Ghosts - Exploring an Amazing 1900's Historic Monte Cristo WA Abandoned Gold Mine

Join us as we explore one of the largest and most historic abandoned gold mines located in the Monte Cristo Mining District of Snohomish County Washington. This gold mine was one of the Willman's brothers' ventures and initially proved to be productive. However, like other mines in Monte Cristo, the ore supply diminished around 500 feet from the surface when they attempted to dig deeper into the mountain. The mine changed ownership several times, with production resuming briefly in 1907 and again in the 1920s, but neither attempt was successful. Monte Cristo was the first live mining camp on the west slopes of the Cascade Range. There were 13 mines and 40 claims by 1891. By 1893 there were 211 mining claims. The boom required money from the eastern United States to continue to grow. In 1891 John D. Rockefeller became interested in Monte Cristo. His syndicate, Colby and Hoyt, took over the primary mines, including the Pride and Mystery mines. The Willman's brothers were paid $470,000. Rockefeller's companies acquired a controlling two-thirds interest in the best properties. Frederick Trump, grandfather of U.S. President Donald Trump, was also active in the town; he operated a boom-town hotel and alleged brothel. Monte Cristo is a ghost town northwest of Monte Cristo Peak, in eastern Snohomish County in Western Washington.
