This was hung on the tub/wagon to show which miners had filled which tub .
The miners were paid for the amount of stone mined,hence the need to identify the tubs.
Now in a local museum
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.

"I started work at 14, Easter 1941. Having done six days a week, my father kept pigs, poultry and a firewood round. That was my seven days a week a job, beside the pit. I collected potato peelings from house to house, and waste food from the Bevin Boys Hostel. I hadn't been working long, when one cold blistery day we were sending tubs of coal and dirt from Wood Pit to Lyme Pit screens. This day a tub came off the track, up to the axles in mud. Anyway we were struggling to get the tub on the track, when the under-manager, a man of 6 foot odd height came to see what the trouble was. He was standing there with his hands in his pockets. Do this and do that. I was only a little lad of 14, so I said if you take your hands out of your pockets and help us lift this tub we will get on better. I was immediately sacked, but with a war on and 'Essential Works Order' being in force, I could not be sacked, but he found the dirtiest and wettest job at the pit for me.”

Climate change impacts need to be taken seriously in the long‐term planning of mining projects, especially in high mountain environments.

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

Hach, einmal mussten wir versuchen, den unglaublichen Sternenhimmel zu fotografieren. Besser haben wir's nicht hingekriegt. Am besten direkt vor Ort bestaunen ;).

Gresham, Colorado was the original post office for points west, Riverside, Raymond, Ferncliff, Allenspark and points north. The area post office apparently had gummint funds to hang lath and have a nicely plastered interior, one of the few we've seen. The post office was almost certainly decommissioned after the new road was finished up the South St.Vrain from Lyons but a later logging operation returned it to use and probably sustained some men through the depression. The log post office was papered in depression era (1933) newspaper, predominantly the Denver Post mining sections.
We sought to save the remaining wallpaper with the digital camera. We set out for Gresham on a toasty day in December; my sandals were probably not the best footwear for the trek as we found snow on the flats around the old mining camp. There, hands have been at work pilfering souvenirs and broke into the other log cabin. There was also more newspapering lost in the last couple of years. Such is the mindset of some idiots who are not willing to share with the next folks. We only took photographs.
