My name's Regan. I work for Anthony J. Lyon, International Detective Bureau. They call me, The Lion's Eye. CVS brings you Jeff Regan, investigator starring Frank Graham as Regan with Frank Nelson as Anthony J. Lyon. So stand by for mystery, suspense, and adventure in tonight's Jeff Regan story of The Lady by the Fountain.  I'm finishing out the lease for a guy who's up at San Quentin waiting for the second week in December. That's what the state's gonna help him forget a blondie never should have remembered. Well, it's a place to live. I've got a leaky faucet and a bed that comes out of the wall. And that's where I was last Monday morning, about six o'clock when somebody began pounding on the door. I figured the place was burning down, but it turned out worse. My boss, a couple of hundred pounds of black cigar stuffed into a blue suit. Regan, it's me, The Lion. Here's a nice morning, the sun's up, the birds are up. What are you doing? Just hoping somebody drop in. What do you want?  We've got lots of work to do. This is gonna be a busy day. The last time you threw that line, I spent six weeks in a hospital. You're always suspicious of people. You should learn to trust your fellow man. You can't go through life not having faith in people. Follow my example. Every man is my brother, Regan. And if you figured there was a buck in it, you'd sell him to a chain guy. And I'll see you here. And you'd be the first one to turn him in if he got loose. That kind of talk doesn't set well with me, Regan. Remember, I have you under contract international and I hold your bar. You can let loose anytime you want to. It's no season pass to come in here in the middle of the night. Now, now there's no need for you when I'd argue. I guess I'm a bit edgy. Been up all night long. Uh, mind? Yes, I do. As I said, I've been up all night long. Thanks. Regan, somebody got Tim Vickers, Vice President of American Casualty Company out of bed at three o'clock this morning. He was at the same party with you? Hey, don't get old Tim out of bed unless there's dough involved. I looked into it. Headquarters tells me that a guy named Albert Colby made the call, lives out in Bel Air, fine family, oil. Put it on the road. I wish you'd buy better stuff. Well, last night, Colby got himself married to a tomato named Francis Sheenard. Somewhere around midnight, the new Mrs. Colby and 50 or 60 other guests are heisted as nice as you please. And the police are working on it. Goodbye. No, you and me, we're working on it. When they call American Casualty, that means whatever was taken was insured and they've got their own manner. And it means they want it back bad enough to start paying a reward to anybody who can find whatever it is. And it means the insurance company and the police department will be working on it and they don't want anybody's all sticking their nose in. Oh, those cops can't pick up reward money. And neither can those company guys. Now that leaves you and me, Regan. Any international can use some extra dough. Try the Morris plan. I got a better one. You hop out to Colby's and get some details. I'll hang around headquarters and see what kind of story they've got. You set them up, but they never come off. If we find out what's gone, who took it and get it back, we've made rent money. Yeah, I haven't had my breakfast yet. Hey, what's the matter, Regan? You look worried. I am. That's my only bottom. Oh, you got nothing to worry about anymore. Here, it's empty. Well, the lion only got as far as D in the alphabet. That's when they showed him how to spell dollar. And this Colby thing had a dollar sign in front of it as far as the lion was concerned. And that means it's no use arguing. So I threw on some clothes and drove out to the Colby place. It turned out to be a lot of brick and grill work on top of one of those canyon roads right after you turn off sunset into Bel Air. When I drove in the gate, I got a feeling somebody better check with London to see if Buckingham was still there. Two guys in uniform stopped me. I showed them my license, they let me through. I parked in the driveway behind three police cars and started looking around for the lady's entrance. That's when I spotted a tall guy in a brown sport coat sitting on a cement bench right by a fountain. Up close, he looked sad, like an umpire on a rainy day. Yes, what can I do for you? I'm looking for a guy named Colby. Are you from the police? No. Insurance company? No. But we don't want any reporters hanging around here. All right, I'm no scribe. Now, can you tell me where I can find Colby? What do you want to see him about? You're him. Yes, I'm Albert Colby. My name is Regan, International Detective Bureau. What does that mean? Look, I've been through a very hard night, Mr. Regan. I learned a lot of things I didn't know before. What kind of things? The police tell me that when a group of jewelry is stolen that it's more or less kidnapping. It's held in ransom until it's brought back. And that the procedure is to wait to be contacted by one of the thieves. That's one way. Yes, so I understand. It also can be broken up, disassembled and sold on the market. Yeah. Very interesting and very sound economic structure. I'm surprised at the ingenuity of criminals. A lot of people are. You want to tell me how it happened? The man from my insurance office also told me there'd be uninvited private investigators around. And he told you to keep quiet until he went to work. In a word, yes. You want the stuff back, don't you? I do. But I believe the police and insurance company to be reasonably capable. Just a minute. You're wasting your time, Mr. Regan. Good morning. He was right. I was wasting my time. The lieutenant in charge made a statement a half hour later that told me no more than I'd got from the lion. It was easy to see they wanted to sit tight and wait for a contact. They were playing at Koi. And I gave up after a couple of hours and walked out and got in my car. That's when I met her. A tall blue net with equipment to match. She looked good in that, Sable Co. But she did look good in the fish net. She didn't waste any time. She climbed in beside me. I own one Cadillac and two Buicks, but they're all on the fritz. You can help me a lot. Want me to buy you the super chief? I want you to drive me to Wilshire and Fairfax. The cab boys might think I'm cutting in. Look, I don't know who you are, but I've been up all night answering questions and talking to a lot of nosy cops, and I'm tired. Be a good boy, huh? You were here when it happened. Do I have to go through all that again? If I take you to Wilshire and Fairfax, you do. All right. Mind giving me a name? Regan. All right, Regan. I'm Francie... Francie Colby. I'm not used to the name yet. Best wishes. For what? Isn't that what they say when you get married? Yeah. You ever met him? Yeah, in your garden. Doesn't talk much. Birds that way. What do you want to know, Regan? When it happened, how they did it. I'll tell you my story and you pick out what you can use. Let's hear it. It was two hours after the ceremony. Everybody was out in the garden for the reception. I don't know where they came from, but there were three of them. What did they look like? They were tall, wore masks. One handled a gun and lined up everybody, and the other two had pillowcases. They went down the line and took everything that glared. Strictly jewelry. Anything big? Twenty thousand from the rest of them. I was queen. Hmm? I was wearing a thing called the Colby Group. Necklace and bracelet belonging to Bert's mother. What price? Hundred thousand. There'd be a real payoff on that. Oh, so that's your angle. What else? How'd these guys get away? They backed out, tipped hats and left. Fourth man in their car? No. No, one of them went ahead of the other two. Anybody go after him? That's why I couldn't drive myself. All the cars were jammed. Phone lines got neat. I suppose so. Is that all you wanted to know? Enough. Tell me, what kind of friend of you got who drives a green coupe? I haven't got any friend who drives a green coupe. Neither have I, but he's been following us ever since we left your place. What? Now look, I'll stop at this next corner, jump out and run into the drugstore. You'll have to follow me.  I hope you make the great on this. Now. Solo. She made it to the drugstore, and he stuck with me. I turned right when I hit Santa Monica Boulevard, and that's when he began playing games. His front bumper tapped my fender and I pulled over. He crawled out of his car. Heavy man in a suit that didn't fit him around the middle. I didn't like the way he smiled. What do you think of the new Mrs. Colby? Nice girl. You a friend of hers? No, no, never met her, any. You never met me either. That's where you're mistaken. Your name's Regan. You're within the National Detective Bureau. You worked for the lion since you had a job. What did I have for breakfast? A lot of chalk from the lion about the Colby case, right? You follow me just to tell me that. I wanted to make sure you heard it. Real sure. Well, you can unwrap your bumpers and get moving, Buster. I don't listen easy. That's what they tell me, Regan. Yeah. My name's Wonders. I got that badge four years ago. It's his American Casually Company on it, and right next to it, there's a license that makes me one of their investigators. Right now, I'm working on one of their cases. You're wasting a lot of time. No, you're wasting the time, Regan. This is a one-man show. I'm handling it. I don't want any private peepers snooping around trying to fall in the cracks.  I got so much of it, there isn't any left for you and the lion. You really know that much? I really know that much. Name me three hoods and black masks. I'll have their files by six o'clock tonight. Show me some important stuff called the Colby Group. I'll have that too. Are they going to close it on talk? Regan, I went to a lot of trouble to make sure you understood that you're not wanted. There's nothing in this for you or the lion. No reward, nothing. You're not wanted. Clear? Yeah, so clear. I'm taking your license number right now. From here, I go to 3,500 Hope Street City License Bureau. They're going to tell me if you're what you say you are.  And if you want to keep your arm, get it off of my car. And I checked on him. He was with American Casually Company, all right. And a phone call to their office told me he'd been put on the Colby thing. So I gave up on that one. It was like trying to do a toe dance in a pair of hip boots. It was about six o'clock when I got to the office. The lion was there. He looked unhappy, like somebody had fed him a wax sandwich. Where you been? I've been phonein' all over town for ya. I went to a double feature. I met a guy named Colby and a girl named Colby, their husband and wife. Well, that's standing. That's just great. You can forget them all. It's finished. We struck out. What do you mean? No one happened in Chicago this afternoon. Want me to guess? A cop threw a couple of slugs into a bimbo named Mickey McIntyre. The other guy, Swede Swanson, gave up right away. Tie it up. Mickey and Swede were carrying some of the ice they heisted from the Colby place last night. They talked. And the guy Chicago's looking for now is named Pete Florio. Some gum shoe around Chicago's gonna tag him and there goes our reward. Where'd you get all this? Robbery detail here was in on it. So it was over for us three hours ago. Any expenses after that are your own. And in the future, Regan, don't spend all day on a thing.  What did you say? He was looking at the same thing I was looking at.  The heavy set man with a bad smile. He wasn't smiling this time. He was trying to talk.  Who is it, Regan? What's he doing? Edwin is an investigator for American Casually. He in on this? He was. What do you mean? He's dead. The whole Colby thing looked as foamy as an undertaker in a pink derby. Colby and his wife, Francie, had a lot of conversation, but they didn't say anything. But the insurance investigator, Edwin, is talked like he had something. Only didn't get a chance to tell his story. He fell in our front door, loaded down with slugs, and it didn't take 20-20 vision to see that all the action wasn't gonna be around Chicago, where they picked up two of the three hoods. The land didn't waste any time. He locked the door and pulled the shades. Then he turned around to me. His eyes looked like Regan, this is a stroke of luck. We're in business again. You got it wrong. The coroner's office got something to do now. Look, we aren't calling up any office until we find out who killed Winters and why. You're out of your mind. Remember, there's a reward for that Colby stuff, and we can still collect with this insurance-covered guy out of the way. This is homicide now. Call him. And let some rookie walk into the answer? Not on your life. Regan, somebody here in town's in on this. Big, and you're gonna find out who. What about him? He isn't going anywhere. Listen, we're the only ones who know about him. We can keep a secret for a while, and that gives us an advantage. He had a secret. He didn't play it smart. Do you realize what this can mean to us? About five years at Folsom. Let me worry about that. Don't you ever give up. Find out who bumped Winters, Regan, and we won the cup. You'll have to give it back. You cheated. Once the lion smells a loose dollar, there's no sense arguing with him. It's like trying to teach ballet to a herd of elephants. Well, I went through Winters' pockets, found a billfold, and a driver's license. Some keys. Nothing that had helped. But downstairs, his green coop was parked by the curb. The front seat was wet and sticky, but there was a notebook lying there. The single name Frank Kilmer was scrolled on the top page, and below it, Pink Lady. That didn't mean anything either. Then I took it with me when I went back out to Bel-Air. I found Kobe off at the fountain again. He read the opening line. Hello, Mr. Regan. What do you want now? Information. All right. Here's something up to date. They caught two of the three men in Chicago this afternoon. I know that much. And the Chicago police expect to arrest the third one, uh, uh, Pete Florio, any minute. And when they arrest Mr. Florio, that will be the end of it. You make it sound easy. Facts of facts, Mr. Regan. There's another version. What is that? Inside work. I don't know what you're looking for, and I don't think I particularly care. I'll just ask you to leave these premises and not bother me nor my wife anymore. Hello, darling. I didn't know we had company. Ah, Francis, sweetheart. This is Mr. Regan. I was just telling him I didn't like him. Hello, Mr. Regan. Have you heard the news? I'm going to get my jewelry back so things aren't so bad after all. That's what Brooklyn thought today. My you sound vicious. I've met him twice, darling. He always sounded this way. He doesn't think the police will apprehend Pete Florio. Do you, Mr. Regan?  Well, if he feels that way, Bird, and it does happen to work out that way, you'll buy me another bracelet and necklace, won't you? Of course we do. Now, Regan, you can see how worried we both are about this whole thing. I'm certain there's nothing more of you to do. You're wrong. I got two things to do. Yes? Find out who Frank Kilmer is, and look up the Pink Lady. Good night. Just a minute. You'll have to swing wild in the preliminaries. Corbyn is why I figured it'd be in on the main event. I started with a phone book. It didn't turn up a Frank Kilmer, but it did show a Pink Lady nightclub in San Marino. It wasn't much. It was a little pale guy playing piano in one corner. Figured he'd never been out for a music lesson. I put the question of the bartender. Nope. Never heard of a guy named Frank Kilmer. Just got here from Cheyenne, myself worked at the front here for four years. Nice play. Yeah, sure, sure. Anybody else Mike Known? I don't know, Pelgrim. Why don't you ask somebody? Ask her. She's a cigarette lady. A kitty? A kitty? Yeah, Tom. Oh. This is Mr.... Regan. Yes, Mr. Regan. He wants to ask if you've ever seen a guy named Frank Kilmer. He don't know what he looks like. Oh. See? She don't know.  We've got plenty of ice, kitty. Enough ice to last long. It's going to be a hot night. Beat it. Oh, all right, kitty. All right. And the music, baby. You know the other guy, Mr. Regan? Maybe. What'd he look like? He had a name, and he paid for his information. Yeah. His name was Winters. It was around this morning knocking on my door. What do you want to know? What do you want to know about Frank Kilmer? Go ahead. I'm listening. Wait a minute. It's Frank in trouble. He's a name on a scratch pad to me, lady. I don't want to get anybody in any trouble. Just tell me what you told Winters, okay? I met Frank two years ago. We used to go out once in a while. Then a little over a year ago, we didn't. What happened? He met somebody else. Yeah. He met somebody else. Who? A singer named Francie Schaener. Mm-hmm. They picked up together, Frank and Francie. They were lousy, Regan. I hated her. Then what? They went over to Las Vegas one night and got married. When was this? Over a year ago. I haven't seen them since. But I saw Francie in the paper last week. All about her marrying some guy named Colby. What Kilmer do for open money? Money? I don't know. He had money sometimes. Sometimes he didn't. I lend him some. Why? Does the name Pete Florey mean anything to you? No. Should it? Mickey McIntyre? Sweet Swanson? Thanks, Angel. This helps. Regan, you meet lots of people. Maybe you understand things. Like what? Like why she'd take him away from me and then not use him. Why would a girl do a thing like that? I don't know. Maybe she did use him. I was beginning to shape up by the time I left her. But I needed more to go on. The old telephone book gave Francie, Shana, the new Mrs. Colby, an apartment address near Fairfax and Wilshire. I took a chance she hadn't moved all the things out yet. It was on the third floor, right next to the fire escape. I pulled out a ring of skeletons. The third one did the trick. All the stuff was still there. Some of it packed. Some of it just spread around. In a desk drawer I found a copy of an Nevada divorce action separating Francie and Kilmer. And in the bedroom a picture. Tall, dark-looking guy I'd never seen before. It said, Love, Frank. I was still looking for things when I heard the front door open. I clicked off the light and waited. He was a tall black shadow to me. I couldn't see his face. But that 45 stood out like a ward on an egg. This didn't come near me, but I had better luck. Spun him around enough to start him back down the hall toward the fire escape. I had to take cover. I got to the fire escape in time to see him run out of the alley and jump in a car. Whoever it was, he was carrying one of my slugs in him. The place was beginning to crawl with people. I went back inside. I figured I'd better check with the lion before I started explaining to the cops. I'm calling from a roll apartment. I was looking through his stuff when somebody began throwing lead.  I hit whoever it was, but he got away. The cops will be here any minute, and I'm going to have to do some explaining. And when I tell it, they'll want a story from you about that stiff in your office. Now look, Regan, we're about at the end of this thing. What do you know? Francie once had a boyfriend named Kilmer. She married him, divorced him, but that doesn't... Kilmer, not Frank Kilmer. Give it to me. Meet Floreo has an alias. It's... Frank Kilmer. I left my card with a skinny guy in blue pajamas so they could find me for the quiz games down at headquarters. It took me 10 minutes to get out to that house in Bel Air. I parked outside the gate, walked through the garden with a back. Somebody had drained the fountain. Somebody was sitting there, and it wasn't Colby. It was Francie, and she had a big hurt. Regan. I'll have to get a doctor. Do... do later that. Who did it? Pete Floreo. He thought I tipped Chicago, but you don't know it. I know you were married to him, and his name was Frank Kilmer. I know you worked this thing out with him. You killed Windows. Who's that? This is no time to lie. All I know is Pete and I were at the heist. I wore the jewels that night so we could get it. Only he didn't take it. He hated the fountain here. Yeah, so Pete could come back for it after he straightened out with those other guys in Chicago, huh? Yes, but it didn't work that way. Where is it? Did Pete... So bad, and they're not making that model anymore. Don't move your fingers. Playing service good from Chicago, Pete? The best. I've been living back in 24 hours. You get around too, don't you? What's your name? Regan. Regan, I'm going to plug you. You're making all kinds of mistakes tonight. My mistake was tying in with Francie. First up a hundred grand to stick that knife in her. Now I don't know what this stuff is. Somebody else had a part. Wait till you try our gas chamber. Turn around. Now, stand real still. That's it. I want to watch your collar wilt. It was Colby. One hand was hanging like you'd never use it again. The other one was doing all right. He just kept on. Pete grabbed for the bench, then slid down and shook all over a couple of times. Like I was saying no in a big way. It was finished. He was going to shoot you, Regan.  I did right, didn't I? I did right. Yeah, yeah, you did fine. You saved the state some expenses. Give me that gun. Yeah, here. Same one you used on Munders? Yes. He came to me for money. He found out the same thing I caught you finding out. My own wife had planned to steal from me. How did you tip to her? A week before we were married, I saw Floreo. Kilmer, whatever you call him, watching the house. I'd seen his picture in Francie's apartment. I found what they were planning. I listened in on the phone. And you wanted them to get away with it. So you could get the stuff out of the fountain before Floreo got back. So you could stick the insurance company for the payment. I didn't think you needed dough that bad. Regan, it wasn't for me. It was for her. All she wanted was money. Now look at her. Regan, all I wanted was her. I didn't care if she stole from me. All I wanted was her. Anne and I spent the next 36 hours at headquarters trying to explain away that stiff in our office. It didn't explain easy. But they began to listen better after Colby showed them where he hid that necklace and bracelet after he took it out of the fountain. Chicago police told us their tip-off had been on a long distance call. And that's breaking that part out. Colby tipped him. He'd been hoping that Pete and all of them would get shot up in the pinch. Well, it didn't work that way. When I got back to the office, the lion was sitting there. He looked sad. Like a derby entry with a broken leg. Regan, I just got terrible news. We aren't going to get a reward. I knew that when I turned in Colby. The stuff never left the premises. Oh, we fouled out on a technicality. And I worked so hard. Sitting here with that stiff must have kept you real busy. It's your fault. You should have let Florio or Colby or somebody walk out of there with that stuff and then nab them. There's money all you ever think about. What else is there to think about? If you got it, you're okay.  Well, you can find somebody else to go around trying to make a gentleman out of you. I quit. You what? Oh, now, now just a minute, Jeffrey, please. Let's, let's not fly off the handler. I'm just upset. That's all. I'm not myself. Yeah. Why, international couldn't get along without you? I couldn't get along without you. You're like my own son. I'm an old man, Jeffrey. You sure are. The rigors of the business, the scars of the battle are heavy with me. Jeffrey, I need you. Oh, sure. You'll stay? Yeah. Good. Here. Stop by American Casually on your way home. Give this to Tim Viggins. What's for? For two days work. Even if we can't collect a reward, we got something coming. You'll never learn, do you? That's a legitimate bill. Didn't I stand guard over the body of one of their agents all day long? I charged them union, right? What? The poor bears are organized. It's a branch. What's the matter, Regan? You look worried. I am. I'm just wondering how they're going to explain you and the time capsule. Jeff Regan, investigator, written by E.

let's let him wake up for a little bit see I'm hanging there I thought it was good here's a door is a steel door we let that bat wake up for a while so that's some kind of heavy-duty security door I'm guessing all right let's open it back up and go in the mine a lot of wind coming through here there's a heavy duty hanger probably for ventilation and whatever else that's a big heavy-duty eye about a half inch steel rod here's an intersection goes right and it looks like the main line is left here there's a big door over here let's go this way okay here we are coming up to this large door looks a little more modern big rope handle huh yeah that's neat a wide door it's about a six or seven for wide door here's something right here there's some bats over this way what's this big deal you know what this is it's got some kind of a track on top here's an old shoot round or shoot made out of welded together 55 gallon barrels there's some bats back here I know Julie's not gonna want to go back here but I'm gonna go take a look because it says the 203 I believe it's gonna say raise I just wanted to see if it's caved or not yeah that's gonna be caved because the bats are trapped in there so we'll go back this way I don't know where that other one went with that bat was hanging it was weird one I don't know what this deal is either here's the backside of this door there's a bat all right let's go further into the mine here we're coming up to what looks like a shoot maybe or some other type of a platform that was used for loading this must have been a holiday here oh I feel cold air cold sulfur air yeah well very so this is looking up into a stove that is connected with this huge loading shoot here those are some big timbers oh and there's a there's a load counter the old it's broken in half but that's the old krippage board style load counter they would have a peg in there and they usually had 10 10 10 20 okay oh so they're intense okay yeah so maybe we can go up here and look at this big stove here in a minute and also I feel air coming from my right which is down this thing and that doesn't look too bad I think we can walk right down there that might go to a lower level but for now let's continue on down the main line what's your thermometer say 67 you see that there it is it was reflecting all right let's keep going see it else be fine in this beast it's a tungsten mine maybe we'll try our fluorescent light for some she light I believe she light fluoresces there's several of these big cuts that go up into the stove up in there they're every so often here but every 20 30 40 feet depending on tracing here's another one of these big shoots or a big loading zone actually up into a huge stove and on my right here it looks like there may have been a slusher winch here this has got some oil and grease on it you can see on the boards there so there was some kind of machinery there probably probably pulling stuff out of the stoker onto an ore car which would have been on the tracks where we're walking okay are we doing the right or left hand rule left hand I guess that's where you're headed use another one of these zones loading zones with a a big flat shoot and a very oily hoist or winch mount for a slusher probably here's a Vittalic butterfly valve box also some kerns apricot pineapple nectar and apricot nectar looks like fruit juice well here's some track we're gonna measure some track today just to see what we have looks like the upper one there further up is the easiest one to get to yeah so we have one of our subscribers that is quite interested in the track sizes so we're going to measure some okay so the height of this track is two and three eighths the height of the head is one half the width of the head is one and an eighth the width of the bottom is two and a quarter and I forget what it's called is one and a quarter this web here and the this hole is up about an inch to the center of the hole from the base there's a there's a chart that has all the different ages on them it's actually quite interesting all right moving on past that area looks like there are going to be several of these loading docks there's a hood to these box cardboard high explosives 7-eleven this way that's quite steep I think you'd need a rope to go down there would you have ropes on the Jeep we go get another loader that goes up into the stope here it's like a little wind stopper they removed all the track from this one well it's a big drift in it where you think a good spot to try fluorescing would be maybe in one of these suit things do you think okay we're fluorescing look at all this orange fluorescent paint shows up yeah it's kind of freaky so we haven't seen a lot fluorescing oh there's some blue is that she light oh yeah that's enough can Copenhagen wonder if those had years on them if they I think you can tell the the year from the top style to has a data but not a year so here's another cribbage board style load toner was always kind of neat you might have had one at every station I don't know the series a little less stable got some groundfall there's an old rain slicker the guys will wear that when they would drill to keep themselves dry that one's hard as a rock and you can stand up on its own yep that's an old rain slicker and you would keep the drill mud and water off yourself there's a little Frito thing below it what's that say Frito looks like an older one anyway yeah that a 70s style I think it might be another one of these ore drops it looks like and those are pretty steep I don't think you'd get down there without a rope or get back up you get down there moving arm down the line a little bigger area that's timbered must have been a little less stable oh yeah speaking of less stable look what's ahead of you oh a little blow it on the track I guess that's why the blocker was there for the for the track wow look at the size of that cavern that's big yes it is I don't know how they ever got stuff out of there well should we go across this or not sure there's a rope over there I'll climb a rope no okay Tom's gonna cross over cross over to the unknown okay there's a spot I just get across it's obviously blowing out a little bit but it's easily cross a lot in the after touch the tracks who's gonna stay over there for a minute I'm gonna go this way now we don't have anything to look at well at least we found the end of the drift there there it is okay we backtracked to the fork that went to the right where we went left so we're gonna take the one that we skipped here it's a hard left looks like there might be a plug up here although I see some room over the top of it boy this is not a plug at all you can stand right up and go over this thing those are deceiving sometimes well a good size stoked room here with a whole bunch of timber in it looks like just spare parts a little piece of ladder here looks like oh boy there's a big stove there's a little ladder it's really tall there's probably 40 feet tall up to there okay we're gonna go over this way a little bit off the drift into this stope and see what's over here kind of hard to walk here's a piece of an old ladder a bunch of tract on there too looks like it's the same size tract as that that we measured man this is some big stuff in it so we're still up above this huge cavernous stope there's a cable anchor going into the wall with a big hook or a big eyelet this is above this huge cavernous gotta be a hundred feet across and oh man I know from down there to the bottom is probably 50 feet tall there's a bunch of track piled up in here there's also a big post here that looked like it was an anchor for something and boy has that been well used I see some track picking up again over here where Julia's there's a track junction here it looks like I use the junction coming out of those thing we ran and then going forward there's also something that goes this way let's go this way first another big open area and a fence a cyclone fence there's a old heavy duty rope and a line there's a ladder down there that's a very heavy these water two by six water that's gonna end up back in that big cavern that we just came out of looks like a can down there and a couple of drill steels or bolts let's go this way always tracks are still in here there's another junction right or left this looks like it stops right here stops about 50 feet ahead of us 75 feet ahead at a big pile there's some explosives paper it always wrapped their dynamite in paper inside the box there it says Palmer's hole whoever Palmer was so this looks like a kind of a catch-off or stuff there's beer cans there's an old fuel or oil can what does that say Atlas okay so Julia is showing off this Atlas Potter Company box so subsidiary subsidiary of Tyler Corporation Dallas Texas here's a steel body with an aluminum pop-top iris spring no iris spring up like seven up I'm so used to saying Irish spring for the soap can you see the bottom of that that's all steel right oh yeah yeah that's a steel can with the with an aluminum top those are I think from the late 60s here's a thousand feet of debt cord primacord dangerous and here's a 50 pound bag of Herco mix Nitro-carbonitrate usually you see anthill which is an anthill is a ammonium nitrate mixed with fuel oil what the anthill stands for well look what Julie found a blasting cap box from Hercules electric blasting caps lock these blasting caps lock up these blasting caps Springfield cola cream soda Springfield cream soda some Pepsi top please and then the old Pepsi 6 back there's a couple more juice cans there there's a couple empty spools of Seminole what is it shot firing wire and blasting cables and then I'll pack a camels there's some kind of bucket out here too I can't see what it says what kind of junk back here you like jump there is most of a wood dynamite box is that Hercules another piece to it that's some honey other side I think all right let's go back and see where that left goes with these at the end of these tracks right here Julie found a six-foot piece of measuring tape that cloth tape usually the miners would have a fuse table that would have increments marked off so they could make their fuses the correct length the time of time the shot here are some papers we found there's a long hole drawers report with nothing on it just a blank form and then it looks like these are drill hole locations is that what I'm seeing can you read anything this is bottom holes minus 60 degree towards row 22 that's some technical deals with the drill holes and that's a protractor box you said okay we're back to this intersection where we went left into that area this is kind of going around the top of that huge open cavern that's to our right so I imagine that's going to be showing up on our right here in just a few seconds we're not a water pipe in here big hangar for stuff pipes and ventilation tubes and stuff like that let's go let's go do this one though in case we don't get back here again they might loop around and bunch of track ties stacked up here we found a bigger area of this mine than I thought we were where that go 925 stope these are rope hanging on that thing huh another junction that's kind of jumbled up that way yeah let's drink another piece of wood butt dynamite box danger keep out see there's a ladder down there but not easily usable it's nice temperature in here isn't it it was 67 when we came in you said I used a fair amount of the old hemp rope didn't they that looks like it stops right there that might go that way stop right here is a go up it's got an arrow pointing out an old long neck holy crap who could climb that rope I'm lucky well I claimed over that little pile that was in front of us and this only goes about another 40 feet that way got quite a lot of loose material up here very red and this is the way I just came from these right over there so not much here was a lot of that goes down to somewhere there probably goes into that big cavern again kind of the direction it's headed I think maybe not I didn't look usable we're taking the left basically we came from that way we're taking a lot here here's a so this is a is it a blasting cap I think so looks like the same box that we just saw these the electric firing devices in this carton may be equipped with a shunt which joins in short circuits the barrier wire tips adjacent to installation lots of blasting cap boxes around here cardboard ones no tins although we did find a tin top the other day from the california cap company you seem to hard to walk on that it okay another end of a drift or a stove or whatever it is okay now we're back to the main part we're gonna continue on the left here the way we were going oh so that's a big set of grizzly bars there and there but they're over a foot they'll allow a foot foot and a half rock crew so that's some pretty big stuff I'm guessing that goes down into that huge pit which we haven't been down in yet we've been are going around it so let's continue doing that well up there's a lot of water pipe connectors laying around yes we made a little bench to sit out here let's take a peek over here once there's a milk carton or something Lucerne that's milk isn't it yeah MW down what does that mean I thought we'd be in that big cabin over here but maybe we're past it now I think we did too I don't want to go down here I just want to look for a second it looks like you could get through down there but I don't know there's some big wood planking down there here's the mother load of wood dynamite box parts look at that look at all the dynamite box parts too bad they're also splintered up a whole bunch of them down here all right let's keep moving on down the line here I see an arrow going right that's the way we were going here's these big water pipe couplers and a big that's for like a four inch pipe and a big rubber gasket big old mine in that coming to a timbered section here some groundfall proceed with caution please it's a it's like a little squirt set action up here haven't seen that here before we got something down there this is kind of a door all right what if that's a oh there's your fuse table it's got a piece of rubber hose for the handle so here's their fuse table it's that big thing so here's where the fuses got measured and the primers got crimped usually marks in the wood here you see marks in the wood measurement marks usually every foot yeah yeah we're leaving the fuse station moving on down the line see what else we find newer parts of this mine we're using LHD vehicles we're retired big load haul dump vehicles this doesn't look like it's wide enough plus it's still got you can see where the track ties were so this is an older part that was still using traditional or cars probably big ones you know bigger than the teeny old ones because this is pretty wide there's all the track ties stacked up right there goes for the ways here when the long ways they're on the streets out with that much going on like a flannel shirt well all those couplers for the water pipes they sure left all those here looks like something happened here catastrophe of some sort I would have heard it goes through there but I can see that it doesn't go too very far before it hits it's some sort of a drop over there I can see it from here no sure sure if you can see another camera not but this is pretty unstable I don't even like standing right here so I'm gonna leave before I get slab crushed all right that's the end of that long there's a little crosscut you backtracked past the fuse room there's a blocker up here they don't want you to go ahead first on this one I guess where's the ladder again looks like the ladder nowhere hanging on by a little wire no thank you Malaine Williams hold through I think it says 1954 you made the hole there I guess I'm not going down there you I don't remember if we look this way or not this looks like a big stone oh is this the big yeah this is the big cavern yep there's a ladder over there man look at the size of this room it's got to be a hundred feet from over there and then from up here to the very bottom down there is what about man that's gotta be that's most of a hundred feet to just like a hundred by a hundred it's crazy okay Julie went around and is on the other side over there pretty big on shine up to your right on the wall behind you so you can see Julie's light on the wall behind her there that's pretty cool okay now maybe shine over this way somewhere well it gives you some idea it's hard to depict just how big these are but there's a little ladder over there up on one of these platforms these are like a loading shoot there'd be an or car kind of right where Julie is a little closer but somewhere in that area and they probably had a slusher that was pulling stuff out of here so I'm going up into a stove now they're huge stoves big pillars left behind to stabilize the back of the stove well you wouldn't want to be here when some of this stuff slabs off either you'd be dead instantly because all of this stuff has come down from like right there so I'm gonna get out of here again cuz this does not seem real safe okay that's that loading zone I was just in the loading dock just across it there's this I don't know what it is there was tracked in here at one time it looks like it's not as steep as some of the other car passes we've seen all right we're geared up with our harnesses we have our rope tied on to a big post and we're gonna go down this thing it's not really vertical just yet we just don't know what happens further down so let's go down this way and we're gonna be protected with the rope okay we are starting to make our way down this I don't know what it is but Julie's up there coming down so this is what's ahead of us gets a little steeper that's why we roped up all right here comes Julie down the slope there she is we caught off rope because it got flattened out a little bit but now it gets steeper again I might have to go back and re-rig we come to some pretty big stoves some of this is slabbed off too right here that's a little un- settling I hope that glove isn't still hooked onto a guy's arm underneath there yeah love right here I'm kind of joking so this is where it goes now it's not terribly sleep what you can see but I don't know what happens after that but we're at the end of our ropes over 200 feet down so no reason being on the rope anymore since at the end we have a couple more on the Jeep but we didn't bring them I didn't think it would be more than 200 feet down you don't want to go that way there's a big straight drop right there so don't go that way we're going this way some interesting colors there all right so we've come to a big timbered area I don't know if it's another level or if we're on we look like we're in the top of some square sets there's a dynamite box which didn't it looks like an old one doesn't it so this is what we have here we're kind of up in the top of these square sets we're trying to get a little lower


If you're new to the channel, I am Gold Pony, I do new car truck SUV reviews on YouTube. And today we are in the brand new 2024 Chevy Equinox courtesy of April Chevrolet in York PA for more information on their inventory. Please feel free to check out the link in the description box below. So we are in this one today because in my personal opinion, this is a good looking SUV. You got some new colors for the 2024 model year as well. And essentially this one is competing with the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-50, just to name a few. So ultimately this video we will be testing out and going over everything about this one from acceleration to braking, steering field, ride quality, sound system exhaust clip, all that fun stuff. So having said all of that, what do you guys say? Let's just go ahead and jump right into it. And as always, let's start with pricing. So as you can imagine, there are several different trim levels for the 2024 Equinox. First one being the LS starting at $29,595. Then you have the LT for $32,490, RS for $33,945. And lastly, the Premier being the one we are in today starting at $34,795. Yes, that pricing is a little bit more than the 2023 model year, but the reason being for 2023, front wheel drive actually came standard. But for 2024, all wheel drive is now coming standard for every single trim level across the board. So that's pretty cool. I do like that. But powering the beast is a 1.5 liter turbocharged four cylinder, putting out 175 horsepower, 203 pound feet of torque. Power is going to be sent to all four wheels through a six speed automatic, zero to 60 time coming in at approximately eight seconds flat with MPG numbers coming in at 24 in the city, 30 on the highway, taking regular unleaded fuels. So you get to save a little bit of money there, but now that we've got all of that out of the way, what do you guys say? Let's go ahead and find a straightaway. Let's put this acceleration here to the test and let's see how quickly we can get our new 2024 Chevy Equinox here up to speed. All right, in three, two, one, go. A little bit of turbo lag, but it's loud. There it is. All right, so once you get to like third gear really starts kicking in, but it is kind of loud. I will say that. And there was a little bit of turbo lag at the beginning, but it's traditionally what you will find with turbocharged four cylinders unless they have like a mild hybrid system, which a lot of vehicles are going with now if they are turbocharged four cylinders. So Chevy, maybe that's something to consider in the future, it should get the job done. It's one of those things where the more you drive a vehicle, the more you really get to know it. So you shouldn't have any issues emerging onto the highway because you'll get used to it. But then touching on braking because of course that is equally important.  As far as that six easier stopping distance goes as we pulled up to this red light here that comes in at 121 feet. As far as braking feel goes, it's 100% perfectly fine. So it's pretty much as you would expect. It's not a super firm braking feel, but it's definitely not a soft braking feel either. So honestly to me, it feels just right. But then touching on suspension and handling up front, you're going to get a McPherson strut front suspension in the back four link rear suspension. As far as ride quality goes in my short little test drive here today, it actually hasn't been that bad. I've been going over some pretty punishing roads here in York and it's okay. It's definitely not giving me any issues. As far as steering feel goes, it's probably the first thing I noticed. This is definitely a heavier weight to the steering without a doubt. More so the most SUVs that I drive, which I like, I do like the heavier weight to it. It's one of those things where more instantly points you in the direction that you want to go. So I'm definitely a big fan of that because most SUVs give you a loosey-goosey steering feel and that's not, it's not as fun to drive, honestly. So I do like the steering feel, very heavy weight to it, but then touching on cabin noise as we are going 40 miles per hour right now, you get a little bit of road noise. I will say that, but it's not something that would personally bother me.  I'm just saying, but then touching on rear visibility, I will say this is a smaller rear view mirror than I'm traditionally used to seeing in SUVs. For whatever reason, I feel like, I don't know, it's just a smaller rear view mirror. Maybe it's because it has this giant black frame on it. Wouldn't mind it maybe a frameless rear view mirror, but it does seem smaller, but either way, rear visibility is perfectly fine. You're not gonna have any issues there with the shape of the Equinox. It's definitely perfectly fine there. So anyways, that pretty much rounds out the performance segment of this review, you guys. Let's not go ahead and take a look at the exterior of our brand new 2024 Chevy Equinox. All right, so here she is, you guys. The new 2024 Chevy Equinox finished in sterling gray metallic. In case you were curious of our exact exterior color name that we had on this one. But speaking of, there are a couple new colors for the 2024 Equinox. One of them being Riptide Blue, Colname, and Lakeshore Blue, also a Colname. Good job, Chevy, for coming up with some cool names there. But anyways, let's go ahead and start with where this one is made. Taking a look at them in, first character is the number three, indicating that the Equinox is built and assembled in Mexico, in case you were curious. But starting up front here, LED headlights actually do come standard for all trim levels across the board. You gotta love that with LED daytime running lights. Do you get the automatic feature with those and automatic high beams as well? So if you have your high beams on at night and it sends a vehicle coming in the opposite direction, it's gonna automatically dim them back to low beams and when that vehicle is gone, it's gonna automatically bounce it back up to high beams for you there. That is pretty cool. And then of course, down to the corners there, you are looking at fog lights, which comes standard on the Premier only. And also wanted to show you guys, guys can see that nice front mount intercooler down at the very bottom of that front grill as well. So that is pretty cool. But anyways, good looking front end. Like I said at the very beginning of the video, I do like the looks of the Equinox still. So absolutely no issues there, but now let's go ahead and make our way to the side. All right, and something else I'll see you around to the side of this one. Roof rails are going to come on the RS and Premier trim level. And by the way, I do want to mention in doubt, we do have the red line package that goes for $895. So if you were curious about all of the red accents, like on the wheels, like on the Equinox lettering on the side mirrors, that is because we got the red line package. So yeah, anyways, Equinox lettering found on this front door. So that is typical Chevy fashion there. I definitely liked that. Power adjustable heated side mirrors coming with all trim levels with integrated turd signals on the Premier trim level only. They will be body colored side mirrors for the LT trim level and up. But then for the LS, it's going to be a matte black finish. In case you were curious, but I do like the gloss black finish surrounding the windows as well as on the door handles. And again, that's all that red line package that we have with us here today. But now let's go ahead and take a look at the wheel setup, 17 inch aluminum alloys for the LS and LT trims, 19 inch aluminum alloys for the RS. And yes, in case you were curious, the RS is the sportier trim level of the bunch. And then 18 inch aluminum alloys for the Premier and again, red line specific alloys if you go with that red line package. But anyways, that pretty much rounds out the side profile. Let's now go ahead and make our way to the back. All right, so now since we are around to the back of the Equinox, all the way to the top body colored shark fin antenna, just below that rear spoiler with an integrated brake light, just below that rear window wiper. If you're looking for the LED tail lights, then we'll come on the RS and Premier trim levels only. Otherwise, we are going to get the halogen bulbs for the other trim levels. So a little bit of illumination in the back at night for the RS and Premier, but you also do have that all wheel drive badging coming standard across the board. Since all wheel drive is now standard, of course. Just below it all, you will find a single exhaust outlet. It is tucked away underneath. Wouldn't mind it if they have exposed that or built it into the rear bumper or something. Think that would have looked better, but nonetheless, I do believe you guys know what we have to do next here. As always, here is that exhaust clip. I need some analysis to go around to the back of the Equinox. When it comes to opening that rear tailgate, it is a manual tailgate for the LS and LT trim levels, power tailgate for the RS, then a hands free power tailgate for the Premier trim level that we have today. There's, of course, a button on the key fob. There's a button on the tailgate itself, then, as well. Once opened up, cargo capacity comes in at 29.9 cubic feet. If that was not enough space, there is a 60-40 split, meaning the rear seats do fold down. There's actually some levers in the cargo area as well to actually fold down those rear seats, which you don't always find, which is pretty cool to see. But with those rear seats folded down, that bumps up to 63.9 cubic feet. There's actually a 12 volt power outlet in that cargo area. Of course, you have cargo lighting. There's grocery bag hooks, tie-down anchors, and if you were to lift up underneath of that cargo floor, you actually will find in-floor storage as well. And actually a good bit of it. So that was pretty cool to see. But the make your way up to the rear legroom, 39.9 inches. That's a ton of space for reference. I'm an even six feet tall. This is me sitting behind my own driving position here. There's a rear center armrest with cup holders for all trim levels across the board. Rear ventilation for all trim levels as well. Dual rear USB charging ports, you gotta love that. Heated rear seats though for the premier trim level and not just heated rear seats. This is crazy guys. Heated backrest as well. So a lot of times, even in luxury manufacturers, you'll find the heated rear seats, but you won't find the heated backrest, which is kind of crazy to see in an equinox though. I love that, but anyways. Also, we actually do have 120 volt power outlet. You guys can see that at the very bottom as well. So that was pretty cool to find. But then make your way up to the front seats, manually adjustable front seats for the LS trim level, cloth seats for the LS LT and RS trims. But then a perforated leather for our Premier that we have today. Eight-way power driver seat for the LT trim level and up heated front seats for the RSM Premier. Then ventilated front seats are gonna be optional for the Premier. We actually do have that option. So that's pretty cool. But anyways, so where the seat comfort goes, it was actually really good. Reason being is the lumbar support was really adjustable. That isn't always the case. A lot of times when manufacturers put lumbar support on their seats, it's slightly adjustable. But with the equinox, it's really adjustable. So I was a big fan of that. But then take a look at the steering wheel. It is tilt and telescoping. It is leather-wrapped for the RS Premier and then optional on the LT if you wanted the leather-wrapped steering wheel. And it is actually heated on the Premier. I've had that heated steering wheel on the whole time because it's kind of cold out today. So big fan of that. 10 to two grips are perfectly fine on the thicker side actually. So I like that too. But then make your way to the startup. Let me start by showing you guys the key. You got your Bowtie logo on the one side. When you flip it over lock, unlock that remote start coming standard and the button at the top of your tailgate there. But it is all keyless entry with a push button start. So all I'm going to do here, simply put my foot on the brake and press that engine start button located kind of by the driver's right knee. And so once started up, when it comes to the gauges, tachometers all the way to your left, speedometers on your right. We'll find your fuel information up top and then the digital screen down to the bottom there which can be controlled by using the steering wheel mounted controls found on the right side of the steering wheel. So it gives you things like radio information.  There's a digital speedometer, chirp a chirp based on pretty much everything you could possibly want on the digital portion of the gauges. So that was pretty cool to see. But then make your way to overall interior quality, panoramic power sunroof for the LT trim leveling up. I love that it's available on all of those trim levels. So that goes all the way into the back. So you got to love that overhead sunglass holder for the LT trim leveling up as well. Universal home remote for the premier trim level. So you got the garage door openers for up to three different garage doors there. Dual zoom clown control for the RSM premier. So both driver and passenger, conceptor and temperatures. Wireless phone charger for the premier trim level is located just in front of the shifter. So got all of that also just in front of the shifter since we're here. 12-volt power outlet, a bunch of charging ports, of course to the right of the shifter you got your cup holders, electromechanical parking brake behind that. And within the center armrest, there's actually a decent amount of storage there. And you got an LED light within there as well and a couple of charging ports. Overall, interior quality was really, really good.  So Chevy was doing so good too, except for that. If they could just turn that plastic into some kind of a texturized design, maybe you can keep it plastic, but just the matte black plastic, there's no thought and it just seems like it was overlooked.  That's just my thing. I don't know, but now let's go ahead and make our way to the infotainment screen here. Seven inch color touchscreen display for the LS, RS and LT trims, but then the premiere is going to give you what you were looking at, which is an eight inch color touchscreen display. Bluetooth and audio streaming coming standard wireless Android Auto, Apple CarPlay. Now that's something that you don't always get in the competition. That comes standard for all trim levels by the way. So you gotta love that. Factory navigation system is gonna be optional on the LT trim level and up. And of course you can check out your radio information up there as well. So when it comes to the sound system, there's one and a half of them. The reason I say that is because six speaker sound system does come standard on all trim levels, but there is an optional sound system, which is a seven speaker Bose sound system that's optional on the RS and premiere trim level only. And actually we do have that option with us here today, of course. So what do you guys say? Let's go ahead and turn on the radio, see what we got playing today and let's test out the clarity of our Bose sound system that we have with us here today. Yeah, that's pretty darn good. Nothing wrong with that. The bass, the bass was pretty insane. I will say that. And Bose, you guys know Bose. It's a very reputable company. They've been around for decades now. I don't know how long they've been around, but I've had them in my, I had them in a Finity G35 back in the day. So clarity was pretty darn good as well. Seven speakers is, it's just okay honestly, but the bass really, really good. But anyways, last thing I wanted to mention to you guys on the infotainment screen is when you do put the equinox in reverse, you will find a review camera coming standard across the board. And since we have the premiere, of course, we've also got that panoramic view monitor there to the left, giving you the bird's eye view, letting you know what is completely all around you, which is always is going to lead us into safety. And so to start, front side, side, curtain airbags do come standard. In the back, you're going to have latch, AKA lower anchors to tether your children for the rear car seats, rear child door locks, tire pressure monitoring system, but also coming standard, automatic emergency braking, a following distance indicator, forward or collision alert, front pedestrian braking, and lane keep assist with lane departure warning then, as well. So overall, when it comes to my final thoughts here of the equinox, again, I do like the design. I think it's a very good looking SUV. So definitely a fan of that. I like the wireless connectivity with the wireless Android Auto Apple CarPlay. And it's so weird that most manufacturers still don't do that. You still have to connect your phone via USB cable to the actual car to do that. So the wireless connectivity is a big win for me at least. Rear seat legroom is great. I thought the rear seat passengers in general are pretty darn spoiled in this thing because not only do they get the heated rear seats, at least in our premiere, but also the heated backrest, which you just never see. So that is pretty cool. Overall, as far as room for improvement goes, this thing, it is kind of slow. I think it would at least benefit from a mild hybrid system, which would give it a little more punch off the line and kind of reduce that initial turbo lag. So that's something that I see Volvo and BMW and Mercedes-Benz doing. And gradually it's starting to make its way down to the non-luxury brands as well. But I think that's something to consider in the future maybe. And the other thing is, this is probably with the exception of the wireless Android Auto Apple CarPlay. This is probably the most un-techy car that I've reviewed in a while. And I just say that because, of course there's no digital gauges. And it doesn't have to have digital gauges so long as it has a relatively attractive analog gauge cluster. I think the gauges are kind of on the boring side, honestly. But the other thing is the infotainment screen. While it is relatively easy to use, seven and eight inch screens are definitely on the smaller side of things these days. That's usually, that's something that like a 2017 vehicle would have, not necessarily a 2024 vehicle. Mostly you're seeing 12.3 inch screens these days for the most part. I don't know, I'm just saying. But anyways, let me know what you guys think of the Equinox in the comments section below. That is about it for this one, you guys. Thank you so much for watching.
