This entire mountain of coal will be loaded into the waiting hopper cars before the day is done.

Some of the many pieces of rusting mining machinery around the Blaenavon Big Pit. Far from littering the landscape they point to a fascinating industrial history, and one designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage site since 2000.
On Thursday, the recently restored remains of the Blue Bird Mine complex -- including a bunkhouse dating back to at least 1877 and a stone caretaker's house that was built when mining resumed after the Great Depression -- will be officially opened to the public at a 2 p.m. ceremony at Boulder County's Caribou Ranch open space.
Dawson is a ghost town in Colfax County, New Mexico. It was a mining town, and suffered two mine disasters killing 376.
The first on October 22, 1913, was an explosion that killed 263 miners. The second, also an explosion, on February 13, 1923, killed 123 miners - many of them children of the men who died in the 1913 explosion.
Its cemetery is on the National Register of Historic Places. The cemetery is filled with iron crosses marking the graves of miners, many who died in the two explosions.
The photo was taken in August 1981.
Mining is a global industry that underpins industrial development in many regions. It is a key sector not only because it is the source of essential raw materials, but also because it potentially leads to economic and social development, often in remote and poorly developed areas, due to its importance in national accounts, level of employment and influence of international markets, etc. Mining activities can also cause severe environmental degradation because of its location (almost all conceivable places, often with insufficient infrastructure), size and timescale. Potential negative impacts of mining operations include: * Energy and water consumption * Air, water and land pollution * Landscape alteration * Soil erosion * Destruction of river banks * Health & safety nuisance.

The description at the Powder House. You can see how the Powder House fit into the larger mining operations on the hillside.
It all started on Route 66. Actually, it started on I-580, then I-5, CA-58, US 395, I-15, and I-40, to the exit marked Ludlow.
Let's just say that the service at the Ludlow Cafe is interesting.

This is the shaft tower of Zeche Pluto Wilhem (1862-1976) in Wanne-Eickel. Looks a lot like the tower of Unesco site Zollverein 12, but this site is much subdued in character. The miner to the left, returning from a long shift, is in fact my travel companion.
GHH mining machine underground shovel, when they were introduced in the Monteponi mine, helped to make the work lighter and faster. He wouldn't mind seeing it displayed in a protected area and not exposed to the elements. A machine created to work indoors that ends its "career" outdoors. The most interesting part are the reinforcements made by hand welding along the entire profile of the blade of the shovel. Although not a certainly functional artistic work; this is proof of the mastery and skills that the staff had acquired in working in a mine like this.
Pala da sottosuolo GHH mining machine, quando vennero introdotte nella miniera di Monteponi aiutarono a rendere il lavoro più leggero e veloce. Non sabbe male vederla esposta in una zona protetta e non esposta alle intemperie. Una macchina che nasce per lavorare al chiuso che finisce al sua "carriera" all'aria aperta. La parte più interessante sono i rinforzi realizzati con saldatura a mano lungo tutto il profilo della lama della pala. Seppure non un lavoro artistico sicuramente funzionale; questo a riprova della maestria e delle competenze che il personale aveva acquisito nel lavorare in una miniera come questa.

Michigan Bar on the American River, Folsom, Ca. Dec. 2017. Gold mining started here in the mid 19th century and continued into the 20th, and the region has mile after mile of water-polished rocks, places where all the soil and smaller rocks were washed away. Brush or scrub forests have covered some of it, but a century or more later plenty is still bare rocks.
Will I can figured one thing out - this had a belt for movement of material and
Georgetown was a hot mining area and silver also.
The Drenner E-51, while highly outdated now, pioneered the now-common "isolation" method of mining, in which the surrounding rock is vaporized using low-intensity bolts and the material is gathered via tractor beam and sent to the aft processing unit.
This craft must be used in tandem with a shipping barge, as it has no internal holds of its own.

Old mining equipment scattered across the ground, Bannack ghost town, Bannack State Park, Montana.
The ghost town was established in the 1860s, and rose and fell with nearby mining success. The town was even inhabited as recently as the 1970s before being abandoned, and then preserved as a state park.

Three generations of Terex mining trucks.
From left to right:
- Terex 33-19 Titan. A truck built only once in 1973 with a then record-breaking payload of 350 tons (318 tonnes).
- Terex 33-11C. Produced between 1981 and 1986, the 85 ton (77 tonne) hauler was one of the popular machines in the Terex mining truck range.
- Terex Unit Rig MT 6300AC. Introduced in 2008, the 400 ton (363 tonne) truck is nowadays part of Caterpillar's range of diesel-electric mining trucks as the 798 AC.

I re-discovered this old rock-crusher engine the other day. I keep photographing it because its radiator is made of a, well, radiator! This engine is located near the old Whit-Roy mine.
Abandoned building at Leadfield. The site became a boomtown mining camp in 1925, but the whole enterprise was a stock fraud. A small low-grade lead deposit had been salted with richer ore and slickly marketed to investors. By 1927, the promoters abscounded with the money and the town was quickly abandoned. Only a few buildings remain. Titus Canyon. Death Valley National Park. Inyo Co., Calif.
