Big Bell (WIKIPEDIA) is a mining ghost town in Western Australia near the town of Cue, established in 1936, and was home to the Big Bell Gold Mine.Mining ceased in 2003 and the plant was dismantled and transported to the Westonia minesite in 2007.
It is a former railway branch terminus in Western Australia's Murchison Region. The first train arrived in Big Bell on 6 January 1937, however the line was not officially opened until 12 August that year. Services ceased from September 1944, but were revived the following year when the war in Europe was winding down and the gold mine reopened. The line finally closed on 31 December 1955. Not much of the buildings remain, but the roads stay visible in their original position as dirt tracks. It is very visible from an aerial view.
The Big Bell hotel reputedly had the longest bar in Australia. In 1902 Herbert Hoover, who would later become the 31st President of the United States, was a company representative at the Big Bell open cut gold mine.

The date of publication is uncertain. However, the brochure includes images of Erie shovels loading Mack AC Model 5 1/2 ton dump trucks, which were in production between 1916 and 1939. Therefore the brochure was produced some time between 1916 and 1927 when Erie merged with Bucyrus to become Bucyrus-Erie.
The brochure comprehensively covers the Erie GA-2 Gas+Air shovel, powered by a 75 HP Waukesha gasoline engine and having a working weight of 66,500 lbs.

Pearce, Arizona is a mining ghost town named for Cornishman James Pearce, miner and cattleman, who discovered gold nearby at what became the Commonwealth Mine in 1894. The Pearce Post Office was established on March 6, 1896. The railroad station opened in 1903. By 1919, Pearce had a population of 1,500. The town declined in the 1930s, and became almost a ghost in the late 1940s, when the mine closed for the last time.
The Commonwealth Mine became one of Arizona's major silver producers. Over 1,000,000 tons of ore were produced from 1895 to 1942. There are about 20 miles of underground workings. The mine produced about $8 million worth of silver and $2.5 million in gold at a time when silver was priced around 50 cents an ounce, and gold was $20 an ounce.
A sign near the entrance to the Kohtla Mining Park museum, known as Kohtla Kaevanduspark in Estonian, which is located at Jaama 1 in the Kohtla-Nõmme muncipality in the north east of Estonia.
To get there, follow the E20 Talinn-Narva highway to the Kohtla-Järve exit, which is 157 km east of Tallinn and 55 km west of Narva, and from there follow route 93 / 126 south west for about 9 km, then take right and drive straight west towards Kohtla-Nõmme for another 4 km until the roads end. Voila!

Male Clarke's Mining Bee (Andrena clarkella). Not a brilliant shot as it's difficult to get at them, as described on the photo of the female.
Across the way, those big beehive things are the dormitories that make up Syncrude's Mildred Lake (Mining) Camp. I don't know the actual numbers, but if I had to guess, the capacity over there is somewhere around 3000 beds.
Local residents want mining companies to guarantee that they will conduct remediation when a mine is closed.
Interesting to see a fair bit of mining and exploration history in the Tenquille Lake Area. This hand cart and a very old cabin nearby would likely date back 70 or 80 years at least. More recent history in the form of abandoned drill platforms and survey markers are also nearby.
RE: BULL ELEPHANT BOARD REVIEW
FROM: M-TRON INTERPLANETARY SHIPPING REVIEW BOARD
TO: UNITRON MINING MINISTRY
The board has found the mining mech UMA-306 'Bull Elephant' to fit classification as a machine of war and as per M-Tron policy, we cannot deliver such a machine. Below are the findings of the Review Board's inspection:
HIGH-INTENSITY MINING LASER: The laser the UMA-306 is equipped with is of an outdated model and thus devoid of modern safety measures, such as power restriction or organic detection.
HIGH-CAPACITY FLARE LAUNCHER: The board fails to see any non-military application for such a device, particularly for an underground mining machine.
HEAVY MACHINE GUN: While the Insectoid menace is indeed a valid threat in Futuron space, we find this armament to be extreme overkill for its supposed primary function.
Members of the board have also suggested that this vessel is not, in fact, intended for mining, and is instead an attempt to smuggle heavy ordinance into Futuron space. We ask that you do not consult M-Tron on this matter again.

Unscrupulous mining companies deal only with authorities and ignore the local population as potential partners.
Destruction of local roads, limited support from mining companies to improve infrastructure and dust formation by mining trucks and operations are among the leading complaints of the local residents.
Scenic view of the mining operations in Chloride, Arizona. This is in the northwest corner of the state. Here, gold, silver, turquoise and other minerals were blasted from the mountains. The title of this image refers to seeing the inside and the outside of these mountains at one time. See the set on Chloride for many aspects of this old mining area and the town that survives.

The largest of the ruins in Delmar are of former commercial and governmental buildings (if I recall correctly, the large ruins in the center was a bank). Scattered throughout this picture, including in the valley in the upper right, are piles of rocks that represent the foundations of houses. Further up the road was a large mining area, and to the right in the area that would be out of the picture, was another large mining area. The ruins in the adjacent picture were at the upper end of the road that runs through this picture.
