Looking out at the entrance to the Bon Ami mine at the Emerald Village. The sheer size of these mines are stunning and an lasting monument to the men who carved them.
part of what is now a huge storage warehouse in park city, utah, this tower has been perched on this moutainside for over 100 years. though not in use anymore, this rusting tower is a beautiful nod to the mining days of the rocky mountains.
I APPRECIATE AWARDS, BUT I PREFER COMMENTS - OR ATLEAST COMMENTS WITH AWARDS.
The National Mining Museum Scotland was created in 1984, to preserve the physical surface remains of Lady Victoria Colliery at Newtongrange, Midlothian, Scotland. The colliery, sunk by the Lothian Coal Company in 1890, came into production in 1894. It was nationalised in 1947 with the formation of the National Coal Board, and had closed in 1981.
The buildings were recognised as being of outstanding interest as they formed an almost complete survival of a major Victorian colliery, with later additions. Some demolition, such as the 1950s canteen and medical centre, has occurred but the vast bulk of the structures stand. The winding engine is by Grant, Ritchie and Company and the colliery headstocks were built by Arrols of Glasgow. From 1998 onwards several of the main structures were stabilised and new visitor facilities opened. [Wikipedia]

I found this little mining bee (Andrena sp. - Andrena praecox? or Andrena bicolor?) in my backyard yesterday.

Ironwood, Michigan, September 2016; three mine vehicles alongside the former train depot. The vehicles comprise a shovel, a hopper car and a powered vehicle.
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).

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.

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.
Locomotives and Ore Cart-250-volt trolley-powered mine locomotive using 36-gauge rail. Top speed 8 MPH
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.

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.
