Mariscal Mine in Big Bend National Park

The Mariscal Mine opened
in 1903.

Visit at your own risk.

Mariscal is where quicksilver,

or mercury was mined

& refined.

The mine was abandoned
in 1943.

Broken bricks litter

the ground.

We are warned to stay off

the buildings.

Eric goes inside one.
