2 various locomotives used for tin mining located here at Geevor Mine, Cornwall.
A Clayton 1 3/4 Tonne loco at the front, these were powered by a 28 Cell rechargeable Lead Acid battery which was located in the large black box. These loco's pulled wagons capable of carrying up to a tonne of ore each and was able to pull up to 10 wagons at a time. The battery system enabled the loco's to run for up to 8hrs at a time.
The second loco slightly farther back with the small scoop at the front is a Eimco Model 12B Rockershovel (better known as 'Muckers') These loco's were powered by compressed air and were operated by driving them into piles of broken up rock to fill the bucket then a lever would be pulled to raise the bucket and discard all the rock & ore it collected into a wagon that would be pulled just behind it. They averaged loading between 1-2 tonnes of ore a minute
This ditch is near the trailhead. From a sign near the Marshall Monument:
Mining ditches were dug by ditch companies to carry the vast amounts of water needed for placer mining. Thousands of miles of ditches and flumes were built in the gold country; some brought immense profits to their owners. As mining declined in the 1860s, the same ditches were used for irrigating orchards, vineyards, and pastures in the foothills. This ditch is seven miles long, and now carries irrigation water to local farmers. The hillside terraces you see here were used to grow fruit trees and grape vines. Some of them were dug by James Marshall.

Keystone over the door to the offices of the former Stanley Colliery which was owned by the Mapperley Colliery Company. Sunk in the early 1890s this colliery known locally as 'Nibby Pit'. It closed in 1959 but several of the buildings remain in industrial use.
Chalcopyrite-pyrrhotite mass from the Cretaceous of Montana, USA (5.5 cm across at its widest).
This is a sulfide mass from a replacement deposit (gold-copper contact metamorphic deposit) at Montana's Cable Mine. The rock principally consists of chalcopyrite (CuFeS2 - copper iron sulfide) and pyrrhotite (Fe1-xS - imperfect iron monosulfide). The latter mineral is basically magnetic fool's gold. Secondary minerals coat this specimen in places.
The Cable Mine is a gold mine started in the 1860s. It targeted macroscopic and microscopic native gold mixed with quartz, calcite, sulfides, and other minerals. The ore body at this mine is in a large, ~tabular mass of calcitic marble, which is metamorphosed dolomitic limestone of the Upper Cambrian Hasmark Formation. The limestone was contact metamorphosed into ore-bearing marble by the intrusion of the Cable Batholith, a Late Cretaceous granodiorite unit. The marble mass is almost completely surrounded by granodiorite, and is likely a roof pendant of that intrusion. Ore mineralization apparently accompanied the formation of marble from dolomitic limestone. Ore formation involved metasomatism - the introduction of elements from hydrothermal fluids emanating from the granodiorite magma.
Locality: Cable Mine (a.k.a. Atlantic Cable Mine), near the head of Cable Creek, southern slopes of Cable Mountain, ~1.4 miles east of Georgetown, Georgetown Mining District (Southern Cross Mining District; Cable Mining District), northwestern Deer Lodge County, western Montana, USA

BE 1570W " Bigfoot" This 1570W has a longer boom than a lot of other 1570s. It is 325 ft., I believe.
This is the view looking south just above Rookhope on the Boltslaw Incline, which I understand was a trackbed for a haulage system built in the mid 1800's to transport lead ore.

Coal mining near Birmingham, Alabama. Not a great shot, but just strange to be that far underground looking at a vehicle to drive you deeper underground.
