The Secret Room
During its operation, the Empire Mine kept "The Secret Room." This room contained an accurate scale model of the entire mine. It was a valuable tool for mapping the shafts and stopes, spread out a mile deep and 2.5 miles (4.0 km) wide under the surface of the ground. What was a tightly guarded corporate secret for nearly 100 years is now one stop on the guided tour.

Unhelped by any wind. The owlet’s cry
Came loud—and hark, again! loud as before.”
