Show Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues, September 12-15, 2020 B-3 The Park Record Park City Museum members can bushwhack path to mine Historical 7-mile hike is scheduled for Wednesday SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record Park City Museum interim Executive Director Andrew Cohen is ready for some bushwhacking. Cohen, along with the museum’s research coordinator Dalton Gackle, will clear a seldom-used path near Jordanelle Reservoir to the Nelson Queen Mine on Wednesday, Sept. 16. The hike is open to Park City Museum members and registration is open at parkcityhistory.org. “The hike itself will be 7 miles round trip,” Cohen said. “We will start at the Lost Creek trailhead, right by the old road that once took you buy Keetley, a town that is now underwater.” The group, which will be capped at 20 hikers, will meet at 8:45 a.m. at the trailhead parking lot, which will require a minimal parking fee, according to Cohen. t l s o k o Ski Conditioning Fitness Program October 1 - November 24 Tuesdays & Thursdays 6:30am - 7:30am The Fieldhouse $160 Pre-Pay Only (no drops ins) Prepare your muscles and your mind for all the fun winter activities to come! www.basinrecreation.org | (435) 655-0999 COURTESY OF THE PARK CITY HISTORICAL SOCIETY Above is a rendering of the Park Konold, a mechanism the owners of the Nelson Queen Mine planned to use to retrieve ore. The mine, which opened in 1906, failed to produce anything substantial during its stop-and-go history. The Park City Museum will host a members hike to the mine on Sept. 16. I think it was about a 400-gallon still, and they didn’t bust anyone because there wasn’t anyone around at the time...” Dalton Gackle, Park City Museum research coordinator e n “The hike will go from there tfor 3 miles, until we’ll have to ybushwhack,” he said. “Because we’ll be bushwhacking, we’ll ask everyone to wear long pants and bring poles. While we cleared things out a little during the last hike we did, there is still a bunch of overgrowth and thorns.” Masks will also be recommended, although not mandatory, Cohen said. “We’ll be outside and will social distance ourselves on the hike,” he said. Hikers can expect to see three beaver creeks that were rerouted by the animals’ dams, according to Cohen. “The Beavers had done an amazing job there,” he said. “One of the dams rose higher than me, and I’m 6-foot-1.” The group will also come upon many animal bones and carcasses. “It was interesting, because the bones were from different type of animals,” he said. In some places, hikers will have to duck under branches and climb over fallen trees, said Gackle, who hiked the trail with Cohen last week. “The trail leads up to a secluded area,” he said. “Not a lot of people would have come across the mine, because it is not one of our famous mines.” At one point the trail follows old telephone poles that were connected to the mine, which was active between 1906 to 1910, and on and off from 1922 to 1929, Gackle said. “The interesting thing about this particular mine is it public relations, specifically from The Park Record,” he said. “Nothing came out of that mine, except for second-grade ore over a couple of five-year stretches, but The Park Record was consistently saying it would be a big producer of highgrain ore.” The reason for the publicity may have stemmed from the friendship of then-Editor Samuel Raddon shared with Wiliam H. “Jinks” Nelson, one of the mine’s owners. “Samuel would go up and visit Nelson’s cabin near the mine, and hang out with their friends and Get your subscription to The Park Record!
