The town of Delamar is well-described in Wikipedia, so I won't go into detail here except to note that the mines in the area were most active from 1895 to 1900 (per Wikipedia). The main things to note is that it was a fairly large town, and it was known for being very hazardous for silicosis, a deadly lung disease, due to the dust generated from gold mining. As is evident from this picture, there remain large piles of tailings (the white portion) which can be hazardous to health due to dust. To get a sense of the size of tailings, look at the satellite view, they're very visible.

Odisha is scarecly known to most people as the state of rich agriculture. It is more famous for it's floods and droughts which occur once in a while. However, the entire state, barring a few small regions, is rich with fertile soil and apart from betel leaf and cashew, food grains like rice, wheat, jowar and pulses are also grown.
GHH mining machine underground shovel, when they were introduced in the Monteponi mine, helped to make the work lighter and faster. He wouldn't mind seeing it displayed in a protected area and not exposed to the elements. A machine created to work indoors that ends its "career" outdoors. The most interesting part are the reinforcements made by hand welding along the entire profile of the blade of the shovel. Although not a certainly functional artistic work; this is proof of the mastery and skills that the staff had acquired in working in a mine like this.
Pala da sottosuolo GHH mining machine, quando vennero introdotte nella miniera di Monteponi aiutarono a rendere il lavoro più leggero e veloce. Non sabbe male vederla esposta in una zona protetta e non esposta alle intemperie. Una macchina che nasce per lavorare al chiuso che finisce al sua "carriera" all'aria aperta. La parte più interessante sono i rinforzi realizzati con saldatura a mano lungo tutto il profilo della lama della pala. Seppure non un lavoro artistico sicuramente funzionale; questo a riprova della maestria e delle competenze che il personale aveva acquisito nel lavorare in una miniera come questa.
Ingersoll-Rand pneumatic mining drill, ca. 1910. Black Hills mining was done by hand or with mechanical drills before 1900, though miners elsewhere had used this type of drill for years.
The prevention of a tailings dam disasters is an ambitious, but challenging goal. A goal made more difficult by the cyclical, competitive and international nature of the mining industry. Although ICOLD (2001) provided recommendations for change, which have, in many jurisdictions, improved tailings management, the industry has not yet achieved a zero-failure rate.
The approach to tailings storage-facility design, construction and management must place safety as the number one priority. Failure to implement change, coupled with the reality of declining ore grades and consequent increasing waste volumes, will inevitably lead to more catastrophic failures with more deaths, human suffering and environmental destruction.

Mining Equipment is a lessor, dealer & builder of mine equipment based out of Durango, CO. I'm just guessing this little mine loco I caught on a flatbed truck at the Love truck stop in Roscoe, IL is going to or coming from a mine in upper Michigan.
It had no other markings besides M.E. I'm also gonna guess it's in the 6 - 8 ton range and 24" - 30" gauge. M.E. has a lot of loco's listed on their web site, but no pics and nothing numbered of course.

Local people do not distinguish among mining companies on the basis of size or type (even though the companies may have different resources, capacities and procedures to respond to local population needs).

This line was built from Elvanfoot into the Lowther hills to two small mining settlements. The area was known for its lead mines, but silver and gold were also extracted here. Mining in the district long pre-dates railways. Traditionally lead went overland to the port at Leith, however the arrival of the railways in the area reduced this flow.
By Leadhills there were to the south the Wilson and Glengonnar pits, to the east an area where gold had been found, to the north the Wembley pit and the Susannah and Humby veins, and slightly further north smelters at Waterhead where the adits which drained the mining emptied into the Glengonnar Water. Tramways were used in the Leadhills mines.
To the west of Wanlockhead were the Bay mine (named for the Botany Bay colony) and Glencrieff mine. An surface tramway ran from Meadowfoot to Wanlockhead which pre-dated the railway. Originally it only ran as far as the town, but later it may have been modified to run to near the station.
