The History of MacKeith Lake Mine, No TRESSPASSING,HEAVILY vIDEO SURVILENCE, RECREATIONAL USE PROPERTY CLAIM.

The Town of Mackieth Lake had first started in 1920's when several communities became establish by the Railway industry. At the time Timmins, Ontario, Canada played a major role in shaping much of the northern life towns with its use of Logging, Mining, and Fur Trading corporations. Other industries like the railway service industry played a major roll in shaping the much isolated towns. Many towns like Jerome, Ontario, Canada also gave its own credit to the railway industry for providing much needed transportation. Even Ramsey, Ontario, Canada dedicated its own support to the networks of rails as roads were non-existent. Lets also state that many isolated northern towns are being currently brought down by all the people who claim land for recreational, logging or mining usages. Just to access the town of Jerome now a days Is rather much to hard to even explore what may be hidden across Opeepeeways Creek. The Chinese in other words completely decked the bridge which use to access the Town of Jerome, Ontario. All for what because there is only 1.2 million dollars of gold to be mined from this ghost-town. Now a days something like that isn't even worth buying into due to the costs in running it. Many places over the years of exploring have either bin damage by humanity, or just claim out for whatever reason. Some of these places have bin camped out by many residents who travel across the northern region just to find a spot in particular. Some choose ghost-towns while other choose different sceneries to look up too.

Anyways the Town of Mackieth Lake was pretty similar to any one of these place as it was first establish as a small privately own logging community till the discovery of Gold and Silver had change everything. The town of Palomar literally became a massive boom town when Gold and Silver played an important role of its formation. Many eager people scrabble across the region of Palomar just to find the riches like the one company did. But in the end it was the Mackieth Lake mining company who only had valuable explorations within Palomar, Ontario, Canada. Although the company was short live as gold and sliver resources became exhausted from this area. To this very day the Town of Mackieth Lake is very well located on Private Property as its claimed for Recreational usages. While in town I had my own chance in getting permission to party with the former owner for two days. Their actually nice people but not too friendly to trespassers who come onto there land without permission from them. The area is also heavily monitored by video surveillance Cameras as its watch by Wilbert when the claim owners aren't around. This mainly is enforce because a lot of exploration companies try and take advantage of the land which is already claim. John who's the main recreational owner of the claim actually took me on a little tour of what's left of this Town-Site. There's actually quite a bit that's left, I was literally surprise how a town could still be in good condition after it's abundance in 1943. Besides the property being claimed out the fence at the towns entry also disallows the use of Vehicles or people from entering this place.
