After some extensive search I've decided this is the Nation Gold Mine in Central city but is now in the Roosevelt Forest and I couldn't find any date on it plus I pass this place many times.

“...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.

“The building now being erected was that portion of the Institute to be used as a Reading Room.” [Wallaroo Times & Mining Journal 1 May 1880]
“The contractor for building the Kadina Institute has commenced the work. The excavations for the foundations have been made, and they afford a good idea of the capacity of the hall, which when finished, will be one of the largest out of Adelaide.” [Wallaroo Times 23 Aug 1882]
“Piano for the Kadina Institute.— This instrument, which was selected in Adelaide by Mr F. W. Gurner, and tried by Mr J. N. Lewis, arrived per train on Thursday last, and was conveyed to the Institute Reading Room on Friday morning, where it was unpacked. Several lady friends were present and pronounced it a really first-class instrument. It is a ‘grand square’, and cost, we understand, one hundred and seventy guineas.” [Wallaroo Times 21 Apr 1883]
“Opening the Institute. On arrival at the building a large crowd was assembled in front, and it was then found that ‘some person unknown’ had the key, and consequently His Excellency had to enter by one of the side doors. After viewing the interior for a few minutes, the person possessing the key arrived, and Sir William then returned to the front entrance, and walked up the centre of the hall, which, was quickly thronged by an eager crowd. . . The Minister of Education (Hon J. L. Parsons) . . . congratulated the committee on the fact that too much had not been spent in needless ornamentation — they had taken care to procure what was useful first, and the ornamental could be got by and by.” [Wallaroo Times 27 Jun 1883]
“A letter was received from Mr. D R. Squibb, who is presenting a town clock to the town, stated that he had ordered the clock through Messrs. Harris, Scarfe; & Co., and that it would arrive in about five months.” [Register 16 Aug 1902]
“The town council of Kadina have decided to erect a clock tower at the Town Hall at a cost of about £500. When complete this structure will contain a large and handsome clock, presented by Mr. D. R. Squibb, of Norwood, who for many years resided at Kadina. . . The clock, which will cost Mr. Squibb £300, will have four faces, and will chime at every quarter and strike at every hour. The tower when complete, will be a great improvement to the town, which already contains some substantial and handsome structures.” [Advertiser 17 Oct 1902]
“The clock tower at the Town Hall is now completed. . . The makers of the clock were Messrs, Gillett and Johnson, of Croydon, near London. The clock was placed in position by Mr. Mankey, of Adelaide, and keeps splendid time. A small brass plate is fixed on the clock case announcing that it was a gift from Mr. D. R. Squibb, in 1903.” [Advertiser 24 Jun 1903]
“The opening of the clock tower . . . During the day many visitors ascended the tower, from the top of which, a splendid view of the surrounding country can be obtained. The tower was handed over and received by the Mayor on behalf of the residents. A concert was held in the Town Hall in the evening.” [Advertiser 14 Jul 1903]
“The entertainment in the Kadina Town Hall . . . In the early part of the programme the clock was formally handed over to the town by Mr P. Jackson on behalf of Mr Squibb, who was unable to be present on account of illness. He gave the history of the gift, dating from September, 1901, up to the time of its erection, and said that Mr Squibb desired him to say that it afforded him great pleasure to be able to present the people of Kadina with some tangible token of his gratitude for the many favors bestowed on him during the 21 years he resided here.” [Kadina & Wallaroo Times 15 Jul 1903]
“Mr. Squibb was born in England in 1839, and arrived in South Australia four years [sic] later with his parents. He resided near Adelaide for several years, subsequently spending several years in Queensland. Returning to this State, he settled at Kadina in 1868, where in due course he entered into partnership with the late Mr. Richard Parkyn as coachbuilders and wheelwrights. Mr. Squibb retired about twelve years ago. He takes an active part in the public life of his township, and is a much respected citizen.” [Adelaide Observer 24 Oct 1903]

Leadfield. The site became a boomtown mining camp in 1925, but the whole enterprise was a stock fraud. A small low-grade lead deposit had been salted with richer ore and slickly marketed to investors. By 1927, the promoters abscounded with the money and the town was quickly abandoned. Only a few buildings remain. Titus Canyon. Death Valley National Park. Inyo Co., Calif.
