Diana Mine at Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park

GABBS — Nevada State Parks is hosting Diana Mine Day at Berlin Ichthyosaur State Park on Friday, May 15.

Carved out of solid rock, the Diana Mine is more than a tunnel.

The mine remains much as it was when activities ceased, giving the impression that miners are due to return for the next shift. Entering the mine, visitors follow the original track laid down for the ore cart. One of the first things noticed is the cool draft characteristics of the mine and the even year-round temperatures.

Artifacts found in the mine include various hand tools and drill steel, a stope and ore chute, a winze, timbering and the gold and silver bearing quartz vein.

WHEN: Friday, May 15, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

WHERE: Berlin Ichthyosaur State Park, 23 miles east of Gabbs via State Route 361 and 844.

COST: Entry to Berlin Ichthyosaur State Park is $7 per vehicle, with a $2 discount for Nevada residents. There is no additional charge for the Diana Mine Tour.
