The Foreman mine is shown in Faded Footprints twice, one with the author George Thompson in the entry and another with Ed Grose.

George actually locates this one correctly. It is in Lake Basin, but the basin is so large it doesn’t really give enough info for someone to go and locate it.

These pictures have always been intriguing to me and we finally took the time to locate it a few years ago. We discovered that the mine is really a natural cave that someone, more recently, has been excavating. There was no evidence of precious metals or minerals, other than calcite, that could make the mine worthwhile, but it was fun to explore.
