The Vindicator Valley Trail is part of the "Trails of Gold" trail system that lies around the Cripple Creek / Victor area in Teller County, Colorado. The Vindicator Valley trail is a 2 mile loop that winds past several of the largest mines that dotted the valley in the late 1800's. Interpretive signs describe the abandoned sites and ruins. The landscape is beautiful with spectacular views of the Sangre de Cristo mountains.

A tiny but colorful mining bee, Perdita sp, on a sunflower in my Colorado Springs, Colorado neighborhood, August 1, 2019.
This tawny mining bee is photographed on morrello cherry blossom in our garden. Interestyingly, within a few feet, there is an ornamental flowering cherry tree which the tawny mining bee totally ignored. Honey bees were on the ornamental cherry blossom in their dozens, but ignored the morrello cherry blossom, which I thought was strange.
The tawny mining bee, Andrena fulva, is a European species of the sand bee (Andrena) genus. The males are 10–12 mm (0.4–0.5 in) and the females 8–10 mm (0.3–0.4 in) long. It is covered with hair: fox-red on its back and black on its underside.
The tawny mining bee lives in Europe, ranging from the Balkans to southern Scandinavia and the United Kingdom. It lives in light woodlands and dry grasslands, and also in parks and gardens. It is widely distributed but has a low population density. The Tawny mining bee flies from March until May. It prefers to fly in a multitude to different nectar-bearing plants, particularly currants and gooseberries. It lives in a nest in the ground, and occasionally in larger colonies.
It mates in spring, after which the male dies and the female starts to build a nest. Sometimes more than a hundred females build nests in a few square metres but the tawny mining bee normally does not create a colony: each female has her own nest. The tawny mining bee is therefore classified amongst solitary and communal bees.
The nest is a vertical shaft 200–300 mm (8–12 in), with several brood cells branching off it. The female fills these cells with a mixture of nectar and pollen, on which she lays one egg in each cell. The larva hatches within a few days, grows quickly and pupates within a few weeks. The adults emerge in spring after hibernation.
Did you know mining in British Columbia has been around for over 100 years? It provides excellent jobs and economic benefits for many B.C. families and communities. It's why we're celebrating Mining Week this year between May 8-14.
The Winding Engine provides to mechanism to hoist the cages up and down the mine shaft transporting men and coal.
The National Mining Museum Scotland was created in 1984, to preserve the physical surface remains of Lady Victoria Colliery at Newtongrange, Midlothian, Scotland. The colliery, sunk by the Lothian Coal Company in 1890, came into production in 1894. It was nationalised in 1947 with the formation of the National Coal Board, and had closed in 1981.
The buildings were recognised as being of outstanding interest as they formed an almost complete survival of a major Victorian colliery, with later additions. Some demolition, such as the 1950s canteen and medical centre, has occurred but the vast bulk of the structures stand. The winding engine is by Grant, Ritchie and Company and the colliery headstocks were built by Arrols of Glasgow. From 1998 onwards several of the main structures were stabilised and new visitor facilities opened. [Wikipedia]

4. Mining Sculpture – Jake Harvey 1989.
Commemorates the “Spirit of Community”. Born of centuries of abject poverty, suffering, sorrow and deprivation the strong community spirit sustained mining families. Community spirit spurred the villagers to fight to have their condemned village redeveloped as a modern village preserving its identity and its traditions of sharing and caring for one another.

Regardless of the type of raw material, its extraction always comes with an environmental cost. Most mining leaves a lasting and damaging environmental footprint. For example, during the extraction of common metals like copper, lead or zinc from the earth both metal-bearing rock, called ore, and “overburden”, the dirt and rock that covers the ore are removed. At a typical copper mine around 125 tonnes of ore are excavated to produce just one tonne of copper. The amount of earth moved is mind-boggling and mining now strips more of the Earth's surface each year than does natural erosion.
