  View of the Commodore Mine.JPG - In April 1891, the Commodore claim was staked by John C. Mackenzie. The mine consists of 5 levels with almost 200 miles of tunnels and underground workings lying within the mine. The photo shows portals and support buildings to the left of the ore house and chutes. The Commodore is the southern most mine lying on the Amethyst Vein and was last mined in 1976, a span of nearly 85 years of production.
