WELL LET'S SEE,
Apparently your conclusions are wrong, the below post seems to have enough listed proof to enforce the existience of such equipment. A just looking at the dates I would imagine they have far superior machines now. Development never ceases.
TUTUTKAMEN
Subterrenes
Nuclear powered tunnelling machines.
Since the 1950�s, the US Government has had nuclear powered tunneling machines. They were patented in the 1970's (US Patents #3,693,731). As it burrows through the rock hundreds of feet below the surface, the Subterrene heats whatever stone it encounters into molten rock, or magma, which cools after the Subterrene has moved on. The result is a tunnel with a smooth, glazed lining, somewhat like black glass, which is also apparently strong enough that it doesn�t even require reinforcing of the walls. It was featured in OMNI magazine, Sept 1983, p80.
I happened to see a picture of (what I assume is) one of these machines in a UFO magazine, but at $15, I wasn't going to (let alone couldn't afford to) buy it. Then I was visiting a friend and he showed me the wierdpics.com website, and lo and behold, there was the picture. Hmmm, what would the US airforce be doing tunneling deep under the ground?

Find the maintenance workers and other support, and use them to prove that there is a base.

There's no way the massive amount of material excavated to build subway tunnels can just disappear into surrounding "cracks and fissures" as magma. There's way too much material to move. Also consider the lethal gases released by creating that amount of magma, they'd have to be vented somewhere.
If the Subterrene existed it would be used to build federal-funded subways in our large cities and to build tunnels for roads and conventional railways. Why waste time and money on less efficient tunneling methods if they have this technology? Why didn't they use the Subterrene for the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste storage facility?
There is no evidence this device exists, and plenty of reasons to believe it doesn't. I've seen the patent for it, but it shows a small drilling device, not a replacement for the 18~25ft diameter conventional tunnel boring machines.

But there is the witness accounts. The farmers around Dulce telling the media about large boreing machines being drafted into the area. Extra large roads being built for Heavy cargo. The area being made restricted. Some people have been arrested for storing to much data about the facility.The unusually high cattle mutilations rate.
Speaks for itself...

As for places like Dulce, there are several things you must keep in mind. Old Native Americans, that live in the surrounding reservation, still see gov't vans going down dirt roads that lead no where. There are service ponds that feed unaccounted for pipes. It's my opinion that something's going on, but as for the scale, i'm clueless.
