After underground mining ceased, an open pit mine was opened in 1955 to extract less concentrated low grade copper ore that remained in the near surface. The pit reached a depth of 1,780 feet before it too closed in 1982. At that time the pumps were turned off and the pit began to fill with water.
Compare this photo with one below that I took in 1977 when the pit was still active.
