Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine power outage in elevator shaft
This was on July 22, 2014. I thought it was part of the tour at first, but it wasn't. As the guide said, it doesn't cost extra. We had another power outage in the shaft. And we had three more while in the mine tunnels, two of which were a bit lengthy. But never fear, out tour guide had a flashlight. Whoopee!
