Coal Sample: the coal was attached to a "rib" which is the solid coal on the side of any underground passage such as the side of a pillar or the wall of an entry.

May 13, 2026: New Mexico Museum of Mining in Grant, New Mexico. Constructed in 1990, this museum covers the Cold War era gold rush-style uranium mining craze. Since tours of real uranium mines might pose a radiation hazard, this museum features a simulated underground uranium mine in its basement.
"All and everybody,
this is my claim,
fifty feet on the gulch,
cordin to Clear Creek District Law,
backed up by shotgun amendments."
--anonymous miner quote, 1849
No man crawls out of the daylight into a hole in the mountain without a glint in his eye for the ore he hopes is hiding just below where he's standing. It's brutal life, with the danger of sudden death or the certain likelihood of a bad old age.
The West is dotted with ghost towns, and sprinkled among them are some ghost mines--relics of the quest for gold, silver, copper, and ore. Ghost towns tantalize with the hope of finding an old bottle, antique nails--but the mines whisper the promise of "gold". There's also rotting timbers and rattlesnakes, and tales of The Dutchman's Gold and the Superstition Mountains, buried apache gold taken from the pony soldiers.
It whispers in the wind through weathered planks, and in the howl of the coyote in the night--"not so long ago--still waiting...still waiting...."

An early morning scene in Govindpur village, Odisha. The villagers here, among others like Dhinkia and Patana, are at the risk of complete displacement because of land being forcefully aquired by the State and being sold to South Korean steel major, POSCO. They have been sustaining the forests and its lands and maintaining a ecological balance for more than a century.
'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.

Jerome, Arizona
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.

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?
I know the treatment won't please everyone but to me this image is about the past; the long gone coal mining industry in Whitehaven. Whilst the processing style pre-dates even that it somehow seems appropriate to use this to add to the nostalgic sentiments that influenced the composition.
Blégny Mines: learning about the Belgian mining history with monsieur Michel Claus, a miner since his teen years who saw this last coal mining site being closed down. It is now one of the few european coal mines that can still be visited. Michel Claus is also one of the last miners from that era. A nice character!
Blégny, Trembleur, Belgique, 10/2010
