Description

A mine north of Hole, at the base of a mountain. Near the mine entrance there is a crevice by a cave that is not inhabited by animals — Earl hid the boy witness there after the Goodspring stagecoach robbery.

The mine is where Jed Hatchett led his gang to meet Ms March's brother August. A pulsating hum emanates from somewhere within.

Notes

August March ran deeper into the mine when guns were pulled — the Hatchetts followed, heard the pulsating hum, and emerged outside to find August gone
Merv's memory of the mine is anomalous — he does not remember seeing anything inside, though he wanted to go towards the noise; his eyes behave strangely when recounting the events here
The boy hidden near the mine has not yet been retrieved as of Session 7
Session 10: the reanimated H.G. Farmswatter placed the cactus grove near the mining village, with the hot springs on the other side of the mine. He heard a hum at the grove — "a pull, a pulse" — and when he demonstrated it, Doctor Webb recognised it as the hum from his recurring nightmare. The mine's hum, the grove's hum, and Webb's nightmare hum are the same sound
Session 10 ended with Cuthbert and Ms March misteleported into somewhere wet, musty and pitch dark — Cuthbert had aimed for Dan Randy's saloon.

Session Appearances

Session	What Happened Here
Session 6	Described by Merv under interrogation — site of August March's disappearance; pulsating hum; Merv's memories anomalous
Session 7	Referenced — boy still needs retrieval; the "EVERYWHERE" presence in the Hatchett brains may be connected
Session 10	The reanimated Farmswatter oriented the cactus grove against the mine and revealed he heard the same hum there that Doctor Webb dreams and the Hatchetts reported inside. The party travelled north as far as the hot springs beyond the mining village; the session closed with Cuthbert and Ms March misteleported into wet, musty darkness — are they in the mines?
Session 11	Not confirmed as the location. Cuthbert and Ms March spent the first half of the session in a dark place of cold damp stone, shallow water, echoes and a narrow crevice, where the hum called to them both and briefly took control of Cuthbert. They escaped by teleporting to the hot springs.
