after driving for almost 10 hours we finally catch up with this loaded ore train headed towards the ore docks back in 2001
It's a very useful machine, because you can use it for peaceful mining, or agressive attack. That guy always takes a weapon along.
I found this little mining bee (Andrena sp. - Andrena praecox? or Andrena bicolor?) in my backyard yesterday.

Timeline illustrating major initiatives to improve mine waste management and reported tailings dam failures (data from Chambers 2015 and WISE 2017)
Numerous well-conceived initiatives have, over the past decades, made recommendations to improve mine waste management.. Examples include the Mining, Minerals and Sustainable Development Project (MMSD 2002 and Buxton 2012), the World Bank Extractive Industries Review (Salim 2003) and the 2001 ICOLD report. Franks et al. (2011) developed a set of sustainable development principles for the disposal of mining and mineral processing waste. Most recently, the ICMM produced a specific tailings-focused report (Golder and Associates 2016) and a position statement on preventing the catastrophic failure of tailings storage facilities (ICMM 2016). National industry bodies, such as the Mining Association of Canada, also produce guidance on tailings management, which their members are required to follow (MAC 2011). However, despite all these guiding principles and recommendations, major failures are still occurring and are predicted to continue (Bowker and Chambers 2015).

TK-Doc: "Anakin! PadmƩ! You've got to come with me."
PadmƩ: "Anakin! Who is that strange trooper coming out of the transport?"
Anakin: "It's alright, m'lady. I'll deal with him."
TK-Doc: "It is imperative that you come along. The future of the galaxy is at stake."
Anakin: "The only future I see at stake is yours. Now you better get a move along and stop harassing the Senator, or I will have to begin aggressive negotiations."
TK-Doc: "Now Anakin, I don't want any trouble. I just want to help things and you can benefit from this."
Anakin: "Suppose I do help you. What's in it for us? And by the way, how did you happen to catch us two together. No one knows of us together."
TK-Doc: "It would be difficult to explain, but I'll just say it right now. I'm from the future. I came here into the past to find you and show you the destruction you will create if it is not abated."
Anakin: "Hah, can you believe this nut? PadmƩ, now that this war's over, let's get off of this hellish planet. Maybe a relaxing vacation on Naboo..."
PadmƩ: "I don't know, Anakin. I just don't see what you mean by ruling the galaxy as husband and wife. You're going down a path....."
Anakin: "Now just a minute.... Wait.. What the hell? Obi-Wan? YOU BROUGHT HIM HERE?!?!"
TK-Doc: "Oh bugger...."
TK-Doc realizes there is no helping the situation after this point and drives the DeLorean into temporal displacement. The sound of an erupting volcano masks the sonic boom.
If only there was someone else that could help out.....

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.

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.

'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.

This is what goes under the only bridge on the island. The phosphate is mined on the interior (Top Side) and is brought down by train to this area (there are many large rusting buildings behind these structures pictured above) where the material is crushed, screened, roasted and stored. A calcination plant removes all carbon and most cadmium (a polutant which also has made the fish in the Buada lagoon uneatable) from the phosphate.
