Winfield Scott Stratton, a carpenter struck gold at the Independence Mine above Victor, Colorado in 1891, bought the American Eagles in 1895. Thje American Eagles Group consisted of three shafts and reached its maximum depth on 1902. At that time the deepest shaft was 1,540 ft. and was the highest mine in the district at 10.570 ft. LKittle is known bout the actual production since Stratton's mins were all privately held, following his death i 1902 the Stratton Estate held it. Reopened in 1924 by the Stratton Leasing Company, in 1936 a rich vein of ore wa found between the 19th and 21st levels. It was closed 1940. "The mine did reopen but I don't have that date plus is in operation now.
Three Tawny Mining Bees were setting up home in the garden last night. Two were digging holes and the third was flying round, checking us out and then landing, sometimes doing a little bee dance. By the time it was too dark to watch anymore one bee had worked really hard and dug a good size hole, the second had excavated several little shallow holes and the third was still on lookout. Unfortunately all this activity started when it was already quite dull in the garden.
Sometimes mining companies prefer to buy the support of local officials or influential groups, but this approach alienates local populations.
A view of Iron Ore mining in Kudremukh National Park of Karnataka state, in south-western India's Western Ghats.
You can see the hill tops exposed to elements, devoid of vegetation and grass cover. Below flows the Bhadra River.
The mining activity in the Park has STOPPED, due to the help sought by Karnataka's wildlife activists with India's judicial system.

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.

I found this little male bee in our Staffordshire garden yesterday. I assume it's an Andrena mining bee. It's not a species I remember seeing before.
It's a small bee; not much larger than a female Andrena bicolor. He was interested in a hole in our loose, sandy soil; perhaps waiting for a female to emerge. I'll have to keep an eye on the location!

This is a male of the mining bee Andrena bucephala. Sometimes known as the Big-headed Mining Bee; the males have a disproportionately large head.
This individual had recently-emerged (still had mud on his head), and was resting in a dandelion flower. I managed a 10-image stack at F8 (combined with Zerene Stacker). This species is locally-scarce and as far as I know (in Warwickshire), has been reported in just three locations. In the UK, this is a bee restricted to the southern parts of England and Wales.
I build this for LegoIdeas Activity.

'Instructions for use of Mason's Wet Bulb Thermometer' (Form 23) (Coal Mining).
Miners can be exposed to extremely high temperatures which may lead to illness or impairment. The Wet Bulb temperature is measured using a thermometer, the mercury bulb of which is surrounded by a wetted gauze. The effect of the gauze is to saturate the atmosphere locally by evaporation, so the WB temperature is reduced in proportion to the dryness of the air.

Anglesey Mining appears to be mainly involved in iron ore mining in Canada, however the company also owns the mine at Parys Mountain on Anglesey where perhaps one day exploration for copper ore will recommence. For the time being the headgear stands without ropes.
