- Grass Valley's deepest gold mine — 367 miles of shafts and the owner's stone 'cottage'
- More
- Grass Valley's Cornish miners followed gold down 11,000 vertical feet, and the owner's estate — stone cottage, formal gardens, clubhouse — shows where the profits went. Peer down the illuminated main shaft, then walk the forested mine-yard trails past cyanide-era relics.
