This last Monday I was in the Caballo's just to check things out and to pick up a truck that was there as well. One of the guys that works for me was on his way back home for two weeks and I need to pick up the truck. I went to the mine site just to see how it was going and I wanted to see for myself just what the problems were. First thing that I noticed was that the fence that the BLM told them to put up to protect people from falling into the hold which is about 10 feet across and 75 feet deep, was not very good it could not protect anyone or prevent them from falling into the hole. Because the rock is very unstable there is the potential of the rock falling in sheets hitting the workers and causing some real damage. Since the workers are not wearing hard hats or even if they were with the edges of the hole being unstable there is the potential that someone could or will get hurt. There are no safety precautions put in place to protect anyone. The person that is removing the ore from the site really has no idea of what it takes to keep the workers safe. What is even strange is the the person states that he has the mining permit to mine the site and a quick check with the BLM there states that he does not. He does have an agreement to remove the ore from the claim owner.
