Albert Mutz was later associated with the Fernie-Fort Steele brewery. Who staked the original claim to the Estella mine? Rupertlt (talk) 21:55, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kootenay not Columbia

The mine overlooks the Kootenay river flowing south past Wasa lake. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.250.201.58 (talk) 19:07, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Estella location

A correction for you on the following statement re Estella Mine:

"The site of the mine now exists abandoned but as a popular ATV and off-road trip for sightseers due to its excellent view of the COLUMBIA River Valley - leading to the construction of a hang gliding take off point that can be seen next to the road on the way up."

We're NOT overlooking the Columbia River Valley from this road, mountain, or area, but rather, the Kootenay River Valley. If one is standing in the right place, stands on his toes, and looks far to the North up the valley - you can see Columbia Lake, which is the headwaters of the Columbia River - which also flows North. Otherwise, the entire valley below Estella - both North and South, is the Kootenay River Trench. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.75.164.228 (talk) 05:07, 25 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
