Explantion of signal bells for Gold Bug Mine, an old gold mine dating back to the mid 1800s when the first gold rush in North America began. A bell in the signal box would ring and the number of rings told miners what was happening. For instance, two bells meant rock was about to be lowered and a combination of three, then two, then one bell meant they were ready to blast.
