Industrial ruins of a large Douglas Island mining complex.

Treadwell Mining Complex is a mine in Douglas, Alaska. Industrial ruins of a large Douglas Island mining complex. HauntHunt files it with abandoned industry, dark history and mines. The dossier holds 2 documented facts — the record is history-forward, no paranormal claims on file. The site is open to visitors. For HauntHunt it is exactly the kind of file the archive exists for: a real place, a real record, and a story still being told.

Treadwell is the drowned — the 'sea filled' that's the '17 night, the 'three million tons' that's the water's rush. The '350 out' is the saved — the 'two hours' that's the escape made, the 'horses lost' that's the below's dead. The 'largest world' is the was — the '$70 million' that's the gold pulled, the 'stamp mills' that's the thunder kept.
The 'fault knew' is the warned — the 'cracks '17' that's the Natatorium's tell, the 'high tide' that's the trigger pulled. The 'geyser spouted' is the showed — the '200 feet' that's the salt's blow, the 'bay now' that's the hole's mask. Treadwell is the surfaced — the 'low tide' that's the dishes shown, the 'beach tailings' that's the dog walkers' sand.
The file keeps Treadwell: the drowned mines, the saved 350, the known fault, and the surfaced dishes.
Treadwell is the archive's Alaska file — the world's largest mine the sea swallowed.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Treadwell is the archive's Alaska file — where the ocean took the world's biggest gold mine in one night.
A mine keeps its water — the file's suggestion being that Treadwell's hold is the filled: the 'sea rushed' that's the '17 end, the 'men out' that's the luck held, and the 'bay looks natural' that's the wound healed wrong.
