In 1900, he began to dig, drill, and blast his way through the interior of the mountain. In 1938, after 38 years of exhaustive mining, daylight was finally visible through the far side of the tunnel. Unfortunately for Burro, it revealed no gold. He died in January of 1954 and is buried in the nearby Johannesburg Cemetery. Those with a sense of adventure can still walk through the tunnel, though a flashlight is required, and it&#8217;s important to stay mindful of low spots
