I'll be the first to admit some confusion as to the location of the mine. My picture is obviously up one of the drainages North of 3N34 in Prairie Fork. The USGS topographic maps show Native Son adjacent to the Prairie Fork Guard Station site. There is another unlabeled mine in grid square 23, well East of the Guard Station. I suspect that my picture and the mine itself are up the drainage, East of the unlabeled mine symbol. Caveat Explorator!

Really thats half the fun is putting boots on the ground to know for sure. Cool

I visited the area specified by my GPS as the Native son mine yersterday.
It does appear to be a caved in mine.  The area is close to 3N39.  I was in a hurry and did not explore the area too well, but supposedly there are 6 tunnels among the complex.


This is the view from 3N39.


Old rusty cans all over.





I think this is the area in Elwood's photo.  I need to investigate this area further.
