Tubal Cain mine

Tubal Cain mine

Overview

Tubal Cain mine is an abandoned copper mine in the Buckhorn Wilderness, east of Olympic National Park in the state of Washington. The main shaft penetrates 450 meters into Buckhorn Mountain.

History

In 1902 copper was discovered in the Dungeness River drainage. Later that year, a mining company headquartered in Seattle built a trail and began to mine ore out of the area. Two camps were established: Copper City at the bottom of Copper Valley, and Tull city located in Tull Canyon. Evidence of these camps such as metal boilers, wire, and old cabins are still visible today. After several cave-ins, washouts, and low density ore, the mine was abandoned in 1906.
