This is the first of 2 views of the ties from the electric switchback railroad used to haul the breaker rock up and away from the colliery. Duncott, PA. Photographed 12-29-11.
As far as I know with the search I found very little info on the area. The town just below is Georgetown and named after a guy which was the Silver Queen of the area. This area was some sort of mill - seen a date of 1920 on time but couldn't find that info again. A known fact that a railroad ran up this valley I find it hard to believe on the lack of info for a structure thats some size.

Multiple personalities? It happens.
I don't like this as much as the photo I took yesterday. I plan on doing something different soon. Something different meaning not showing only my bare back and using only blue tones.
Climate change impacts need to be taken seriously in the longāterm planning of mining projects, especially in high mountain environments.

Cornwall - St Agnes.
Mining.
Cornwall, along with its neighbouring county of Devon, was an important source of tin for Europe and the Mediterranean throughout ancient times, but began dominating the market during late Roman times in the 3rd century AD with the exhaustion of many Spanish tin mines. Cornwall maintained its importance as a source of tin throughout medieval times and into the modern period.
At their height about 100 mines employed 1000 miners. Mining came to an end in the 1920s and many of these mines are still on view for tourists. United Hills mine produced 86,500 tons of copper ore, 1826ā1906; and Wheal Towan 54,610 tons, 1800-31. Lesser quantities of black tin were produced from these mines: West Wheal Kitty 10,070 tons (1881ā1915); Wheal Kitty 9,510 tons (1853ā1918); Polberro 4,300 tons (1837ā95); Penhalls 3,610 tons (1834ā96); and Blue Hills 2,120 tons (1858ā97). Much of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape, a World Heritage Site, is in the parish. Tin production is still worked at the Blue Hills Tin Streams.
Wheal Coates was the site of medieval mining between 1066 and 1540, and it was a modern mining producer from 1802 and into the 20th century. The visible remains of Wheal Coates are the engine houses built in the 1870s to crush ore, run a Calciner, or pump water. The sites, owned by the National Trust, include the Whim Engine House, Towanroath Pumping Engine House and the Calciner. Before that the Jericho valley, where Blue Hills Tin Streams operated, had supported mining operations for centuries. At Chapel Coombe a set of old Cornish stamps has been re-erected by the Trevithick Society.

Looking at a pond in the Te Puna Quarry Park. Because of so much community participation, I never knew what to expect when I turned a corner. The community members personalities shine through in various areas. Here along the pond this is demonstrated by the variety of planting, the frog and ........um.............a penguin.
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 piĆ¹ 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 piĆ¹ 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.
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.
