ABOUT WESTERN GHATS:
Western Ghats, or Sahayadris as they are known in many Indian languages, are a 1600 km long chain of mountains that run parallel to the Arabian Sea in peninsular India. They give birth to almost all the major rivers of south India. These rivers provide drinking and irrigation water for more than 250 million people. The 'Ghats' are one of earth's designated 25 Bio-diversity 'Hot Spots'. They are home to some of earth's rarest flora and fauna and most spectacular landscapes.

Arizona Republic - March 27, 1962
Fifty-Year-Old Vehicles Displayed in Jerome
Why Were Locomotives and Ore Car Left in Mine Tunnel Since 1908?
Two electric locomotives and one ore car were put display on recently were put on Main Street. The locomotives, "motors" to the miners, and the ore car are 36-inch gauge, the same size track used by the narrow gauge railroad that traveled between Jerome Junction and Jerome beginning in 1984 The motors and cars were uncovered recently when the Big Hole Mining Co. opened a southwest drift in the course of its open-pit operation.
Many questions bounce about and come up unanswered. Why weren't the motors and cars were they left scrapped when the smelter was dismantled? Why in the underground workings? Were they cut off in a mine shaft cave-in? Were they forgotten for almost 50 years? [photographers note: this is extremely common, most cumbersome equipment was abandoned underground after mine closure. It was often assembled underground and getting it out was not worth the trouble or scrap value.]
The motors are not completely a puzzle, however. One motor was between 1905 and 1908. Using the factory motor for a sample, the second motor bought was built at the mine.

Labourers transport coke to a local distribution point outside an illegal mine in Hazaribagh district.
Illegal mining by Adivasi (tribal) communities at the Loha mine in Hazaribagh District. Families work together to collect coal, produce coke by burning the coal and ferry it it to distribution points on the highway between Hazaribagh and Ranchi. This piece work is dangerous and unregulated. The coal is mined from the land beneath which the family teams work.

Mining Bee with golden haired pollen baskets, but no pollen so far. The pov makes this one look a bit bumbly, but I didn't get another shot. Super to see these and sorry to say I am so looking forward to their parasitic Nomadas!
Congress authorized data mining phone records in 2005, after the Bush Administration was caught doing it. So who is genuinely surprised it happens today?
