Many have came to Alaska looking for riches from below. Some succeeded and other went bust! When the gold ran out, so did the miners. Leaving equipment behind. It cost to much to move it. Just let the land and time take care of it.
This is in the area of Hatchers Pass Alaska, about 28 miles off the main road on the Willow side.

The mining workers of the sand-lime brick mines near Valkenburg (NL) made map, painted on the wall, showing the caves going through the ground in 300-400 metres depth.
Well, also with the map, you don't have any orientation. Feary.
This photo has been edited with Photoshop to brighten the map in the background, not direclty affected by the candle light in the front.
So with my brother stroling around looking at the stuff I spot this woman with all her paint's out and get a photo just as she's folding it up. I finall get the attentiion of my brother so he can get a photo but I've seen another photo I can get with the two of them.

This isn't a particularly pretty picture, but it's got some nerdly geological/historical virtues...
The town of Gold Run, in the Sierra Nevada foothills, is so named because the town was once a popular location for hydraulic gold mining -- a mid-nineteenth century technology that basically involved aiming giant water cannons at local mountains to turn the hills into liquid. By filtering the water/mud mixture created in the process, miners were able to gather gold. These photos show how it was done, back in the day. (Scroll down for a photo that was actually taken in Gold Run).
As you can imagine, hydraulic mining was a big mess. As entire mountains were reduced to liquid goo, the muddy runoff flowed through Sacramento and all the way into San Francisco Bay, fouling everything in its path and reducing the draft on navigable waterways. For these reasons, hydraulic mining was banned in 1884.
All of which is today... the sandy escarpment visible on the left is a remnant of the hydraulic mining days. The exposed cross-section hints at why the technology was ideal for excavating the local terrain (the hills here are composed of compacted sand and gravel). It also shows also how destructive the process must have been.

Charleroi (Belgium) is a town full of former coal mining and steel industry. It also know as “Pays Noir” or "black country". Although most of the factories have closed since the 1950s, the landscape is still scattered with loads of old industrial sites and buildings. After the general decline of its heavy industry, sadly not much happened to revitalize the city. The Wallonian Government undertook some big projects like a (pre-) metro network, the refurbishment of the city centre and the expansion of the airport. But many projects proofed to be “White Elephants”. Only the airport project has succeeded – surprisingly – with the stringent and inflexible help of Ryanair.
The pre-metro network runs partly thru the industrial ruins of Charleroi, resulting more or less in empty trains, stations and platforms. Here you can see the economic downward spiral in full strength. This is strengthened even further by fighting over fraud, corruption and forgery charges within the municipality.
If you want to see social and economic destruction at work and want to take a photo of it, this is the place to go to. It sits up there with Seraing in the top three of desolate towns in Belgium.

“...Our readers will perceive the Advocate is embellished with an elegant emblematical design, representing a collier in one of the most laborious of his occupations -viz.: removing his tools. The rose of England, the thistle of Scotland, the shamrock of Ireland, and the Welsh leek will be seen tied together by a ribband, representing a National Union, bound together by friendship and mutual interest. Indeed the whole design is beautiful, and does much credit both to the draftsman and engraver....”
Edited by William Daniels, The Miners' Advocate was begun in December 1843 as a replacement for The Miners' Journal, newspaper of the Miners' Association of Great Britain and Ireland. Initially it was printed and published in Newcastle by bookseller Thomas Dodds, with distribution in Lancashire undertaken by the Manchester bookseller James Leach. By March 1844 sales in Lancashire accounted for just under half the print run of 8000 copies.
With its “eloquent editorial and worthy educational items” -a reflection of the Chartist predilections of its publisher and editor- the paper sometimes struggled to engage its target readership of pitmen. As an “unstamped” publication, however, The Miners' Advocate faced other difficulties. Stamp duty had first been imposed on newspapers in 1712 and was charged on each copy sold, adding significantly to the cover price. The Newspaper and Stamp Duties Act 1819 clarified that liability extended to any journal which either a) contained any "public news, intelligence or occurrences, or any remarks or observations thereon, or upon any matter in Church or State" or b) appeared more frequently than every 26 days. Moreover, each publisher was compelled to deposit £200 with the government as surety against the possibility of future conviction for seditious or blasphemous libel. Although the Association had voted at its conference in March 1844 to comply with these requirements, and did so again at another conference in July, the necessary steps were not taken in time to prevent the commencement of legal proceedings against Thomas Dodds as publisher. Publication was suspended after the 18th issue, and when The Miners' Advocate was relaunched in May 1845 it was as a monthly rather than a fortnightly journal.
On 20 February 1847 The Newcastle Guardian and Tyne Mercury reported that “The Miner's Advocate... , which was discontinued in May last, has again been recommenced by Mr. Wm. Daniells, in a new and improved form. It is now printed and published in the Isle of Man - a change which is questionable, but which, we hope, may prove advantageous.” Several radical papers had by this time relocated to the Isle of Man, where they enjoyed not only freedom from stamp duty, paper duty and advertisement tax but also free postage to the UK mainland. “The Miners' Advocate and Manx Intellingencer” -as the paper was now called- was published by Robert Fargher in Douglas. A prospectus, dated 5 December 1846, said that it would be “an organ of instruction and communication for the miners of Great Britain, Ireland, and the Isle of Man, and its principal object will be to improve their condition, mentally, morally, and physically. It will develop more fully the capabilities of the Island as to its mining operations and will contain papers on geology, etc.” William Daniels continued as editor, and the proprietor was named as MAGB&I secretary William Grocott. Although the title had changed, the numbering of the Manx editions picked up where the second series of The Miner's Advocate, begun in May 1845, had left off.
In his “Bibliographical Account of Works Relating to the Isle of Man” (Manx Museum and Ancient Monuments Trustees, 1933), William Cubbon notes a reference to The Miners' Advocate and Manx Intelligencer having been printed on 21 April 1849. Fairly soon thereafter, however, it seems that the ending of the free postage concession and the jailing of much of the MAGB&I leadership -including William Grocott and James Leach- conspired to bring about its demise.
The above facsimile of the first issue was included in the republication of J B Smethurst's “Lancashire and the Miners' Association of Great Britain and Ireland” (Eccles & District Historical Society, 1969). Despite the compliments paid to the draftsman and engraver of the masthead in the editorial, neither of them is named in the piece and I have been unable to discover their identities. The design was subsequently adapted for use by “The Lancashire Miner”, which enjoyed a brief run in the 1980s.

Strip mining is what it is.
The sand of Western Wisconsin and Southeast Minnesota has an unusual combination of qualities that makes it perfect for fracking (hydrofracking) for natural gas and petroleum products.

In July 1985, the tailings dam of the Prestavel fluorite mine in northern Italy collapsed, causing the deaths of 268 people. Since the end of World War II the mine had a number of owners, but from 1980 to the time of the dam collapse, it was managed by Prealpi Mineraria. The mine tailings had been stored in two upstream cascading dams, built on a small tributary of the Stava Creek. Around lunch time on a summer’s day, the upper dam collapsed without warning onto the lower dam, which subsequently also collapsed. Approximately 180 000 cubic metres of semi-fluid tailings were released, burying the downstream villages of Stava and Tesero.

great trip to Sedona, AZ and a side trip (much to my husband's chagrin) to a copper mining town in Jerome. After situating him at a bistro, i wandered about and fell in love with this building. may need to buy it and come stay on weekends.

We entered the one shaft we saw that was safe. Carefully made it to the end. There were 2 rail cars inside, a bit of moisture, many test drill sites and a few tiny cave ins. It was an excellent adventure.
