Lapsing into the mode of my heroes Bernd & Hilla Becher who documented pits, steelworks, water towers and buildings across Europe, particularly Germany. Called at Britain in the late 1960's, including Nook Colliery, a few hundred yards from our house. Wish I'd taken the best camera really but it's weight takes a toll over ten days.
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.

Old decaying building that is part of the old Lost Burro Mine in Death Valley. It sits up on a hill above Hidden Valley overlooking the rest of the mine workings.

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 instrument (fondly called a “pokie” by those who used it) was used at the dumping station and also in the face of a drift after a new blast to measure the grade of the ore before it was shipped to the surface. The tip of the instrument was poked into the pile of broken ore and the grade of the ore would register on the dial at the top indicating whether it was “good ore" or waste rock. This would determine how it was handled on the surface

List of contents and directions. First aid supplies missing when I purchased. The instructions are well worth it though.

Coal mining on Sponds Moor has a long history back into the eighteenth century. In the second half of the nineteenth century a series of shafts was developed by the lessee James Jackson, each of which was wound with a horse gin. This particular shaft towards the top of the moor is shown as working on the 1873 OS map, but was abandoned by 1897. In 1982 when I took this photograph the bearing stone for the gin was visible in the side of the collapsed shaft. The metal piece was for the pintle of the vertical post to pivot in. On a recent visit the stone was no longer visible and may have sliped further into the shaft.
