Description:	The Phoenix mine http://www.phoenixmine.com is operated by the oldest continuous gold mining family in Colorado; It's owned and operated by Al and Dave Mosch. It is a working gold mine where miners actually do the work. There has also been one funeral in the Phoenix Mine. One tourist's dying wish was to be buried in the mine. (Cigarettes killed him, not the mine). Al Mosch accommodated his wish. The family held a small funeral in the mine. "He doesn't take up much room" says Al. This mine was nice to visit and the people are genuinely friendly and very willing to show us around. If your near the Rocky Mountains and Idaho Springs, Colorado, stop by and pick up some history and free gold at the Phoenix mine. Thanks for watching. Dave
