On behalf of expert village my name is Bob Lanning. I'm here to tell you about making
a train diagram in h.o. scale. The second mining area was United Vert Extension which
was founded by "Rawhide" Jimmy Douglas about 1912 to 15 and you can see the head frame
there in the background. There was actually two. One was called Edith and Audrey, and
they. The ore was dropped onto her shaft down to the Josephine tunnel which was two and
a half miles long and the ore was taken to the town of Cunmensaw. About the 1920's he
built himself a mansion up there and it was a very modern mansion where they had a built
in vacuum system and it's a beautiful building. And luckily it's been preserved and is now
a museum and is run by the Arizona State Parks. If you can visit that building, it looks just
like it used to. It's a beautiful building. It has some mining diagrams inside and a very
good film you can see in there. But that was "Rawhide" Jimmy Douglas's mansion at the time.
