<br />Commodore Mine <br />Intensive historical mining activities occurred in the area <br />of the Commodore Mine and significant amounts of ore <br />and rock were removed from a myriad of tunnels. Mine <br />tailings now fill a large portion of the West Willow Creek <br />canyon (right). A flume and metal pipe were positioned <br />to carry West Willow Creek over and through the large <br />Commodore Mine tailings pile. <br /> <br />At the upstream side of the tailings pile, West Willow <br />Creek is first directed into a flume that conveys the water <br />over the upper level of the tailings pile on the level of the <br />Commodore tunnel. Below are photos of the entrance to <br />the flume, the upper wooden portion of the flume, and the <br />drop from the flume to the middle level of the tailings <br />pile though the lower section of flume that has been <br />recently replaced with steel. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />..... .........
