Good Enough Mine in Tombstone, AZ

The black stones at our guide's feet are actually ore deposits which are what
is used to process into silver when it is mixed with other chemicals.
The entrance into the mine

Tombstone's claim to fame. . . the silver mine that made the town rich.
Called the "Good Enough Mine".
When the first miner began looking for precious stones,
people told him the only thing he was going to find was his tombstone.
When he became rich from his silver discovery, he named the town Tombstone.
Our guide was SOOOO informative and I learned a ton about silver mining.
I had no idea what an extensive process it is/was.
