--------------------------------------------
The town of Butte, Montana (pronounced “byoot”) is known as the “Richest Hill on Earth” and "The Mining City". The Butte Mining District has produced gold, silver, copper, molybdenum, manganese, and other metals.
The area's bedrock consists of the Butte Quartz Monzonite (a.k.a. Butte Pluton), which is part of the Boulder Batholith. The Butte Quartz Monzonite ("BQM") formed 76.3 million years ago, during the mid-Campanian Stage in the Late Cretaceous. BQM rocks have been intruded and altered by hydrothermal veins containing valuable metallic minerals - principally sulfides. The copper mineralization has been dated to 62-66 million years ago, during the latest Maastrichtian Stage (latest Cretaceous) and Danian Stage (Early Paleocene). In the supergene enrichment zone of the area, the original sulfide mineralogy has been altered.

Why do miners drill?
Drilling holes allow explosives to be placed and detonated inside solid rock to break it loose from the world and into pieces.
Iron tools, like hammers, picks, and chisels have been used to mine since the beginning of the Iron Age, about 2000 B.C. There were no explosives, so rock was simply beaten to pieces or wedged apart. Oddly enough, it took over 300 years after the invention of gunpowder before it was used to break rocks. Even then, for may years it was only used in natural cracks and fissures.
The first known use of drilled holes filled with gunpowder to break rock was in Germany in 1613. It was used exclusively for 250 years and continued to be used in coal mining and other special applications well into the 20th Century.
Unbelievably, pure liquid nitroglycerine, one of the most sensitive and unstable explosives known, was used extensively for rock blasting after the American Civil War. Both manufacturing and transportation were extremely hazardous. The slightest impurity or error could cause a batch to explode when the chemicals were combined. It was hauled around in bone-jarring wagons on rough roads. Documented cases tell of wagonloads rolling down mountains without detonating, but others that exploded from an insignificant cause, like a kid throwing a rock.
Alfred Nobel, the creator of the Nobel Prize, invented dynamite in 1868, using an absorbent material to de-sensitize nitroglycerine. He also invented the blasting cap to reliably set it off. The first dynamite plant in the United States was built in San Francisco in 1870, but it did not come into common use for nearly ten years until after the manufacturing and transportation methods were perfected.
Hand Drilling
For 250 years, strong men swinging hammers against the iron drills was the only means of drilling holes in rock. One man drilling alone was called "single-jacking", while teams of two ore more, using heavier hammers, was "double-jacking". It was slow, hard, dangerous work with only oil lamps and candles for light. Buck O'Donnell's drawings show the drillers at work, but the white pages do not convey doing it in smoky, dusty, near-darkness and stifling heat.
[A] granite block [was] a contest stone. Drillers would compete in front of huge crowds for the title and prestige of drilling the deepest hole in fifteen minutes. Butte miners Walter Bradshaw and Mike McNichols hold the world's record for double-jacking, just shy of four feet.
However, two ordinary drillers working 10-12 hour shifts, day after day, year after year, drilled only four to six inches in hard rock during the same 15 minutes. Advancing a mine tunnel four feet took about a thousand inches of drilling, over eight days of constant drilling. Taking advantage of natural fractures was an important skill the best miners learned to cut this time down, but tunnel progress still averaged less than a foot a day.

Am 12.04.2025 wurde die Baureihe 406 mit einer Abschiedsfahrt in den Ruhestand verabschiedet. Die auch als ICE3M bekannten Triebzüge werden nach der Indienststellung der Baureihen 407 und 408 nicht mehr benötigt und stehen nun zum Verkauf beziehungsweise werden verschrottet.
Die Abschiedsfahrt führte als ICE 13406 von Hannover nach Amsterdam und anschließend als ICE 25 nach Frankfurt am Main. Auf letzterer Fahrt hat die Doppeltraktion aus den Triebzügen 4651 und 4601 soeben die Ortschaft Buir passiert. (12.04.2025)
was thinking i was gonna struggle a wee bit for this theme... thank goodness for aimee's wallpaper!!!
How often do you get to see the back of an L car? the CTA 1896 and 1996 have been separated for transport to the museum. It looks funny to see a single Pullman car.
A quilt for a dear friend who I will be seeing this summer.
I love Denyse Schmidt's Single Girl pattern and loved the way it came out.

João Torres, Secretary of State for Trade, Services and Consumer Protection, at the closing of Single Market Forum - SIMFO 2021 on the theme "Moving forward". In this webinar, the challenges for the economic recovery of companies after the COVID-19 pandemic were discussed, which was included a focus on the double transition (green and digital), announcing the main transformations and trends for the new phase. The prior notification procedure already provided for in European legislation, which aims to eliminate barriers to the proper functioning of the European single market, was also debated.
