Starting to experiment with styles, mediums and other stuff for a series dedicated to underground miners and the history of fatalities and heroic rescues in this industry.
Despite the publicity, mining of any kind is one of the safest trades, per hour worked, than any other. Retail sales has a higher fatality rate, for instance. Mining is like 3rd or 2nd from the bottom.
This painting is just a trial and very much of a first draft. Best not viewed "original size" but from a distance...like across the room. It's not so good, but I wanted to try various styles and this one is interesting stylistically, at least. I need for the dude to look more like a miner, but that wasn't the aim in this trial. I wanted a naive or highly stylized look here and I think it is there.
I really want to do some in the 30's - 40's WPA style as well as a more realistic rendering.
I've got an idea of a dirty coal miner looking up from the darkness to shafts of light coming down on him as he and his fellow miners are being rescued. I think it will be stark black and white...perhaps even an etching.
The history of mining in the US is also one of amazing rescues as well as the deaths associated with going down into an unforgiving and jealous earth.

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.

This is one of the few mines that wasn't closed up and it had some pretty cool mining stuff still in it.

Neston’s coal mining history is being celebrated with the launch of the Neston Colliery Audio Trail. The new audio guide consists of 15 short mp3 tracks that can be downloaded from www.neston-audio-trails.co.uk.

In an effort to bolster flagging hopes and boost profits, strip mining was introduced around Eckley in 1890. Villages that had been located upon valuable veins of coal gradually disappeared, swallowed up by mammoth steam shovels.
The problems occurring with strip mining can be far worse than anyone could expect. Every year many miners lose there lives due to accidents from lack of safety. Mining should take on more serious training for equipment operators. There should be more strict guidelines. When the units leave a specific area, the company operators should immediately start the reclamation process. Coal operators should have to replant three trees for every one cut down. I’m not certain of the regulations on reclamations, but I am sure they’re not being followed thoroughly. Agencies like the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and the Department of Mines and Minerals make it harder for coal operators to just walk away form a job without doing the refurnishing process. They make sure that the land will restored to be as beautiful as it once was. If more and more companies would follow the rules when it comes to reclaiming the land, the amount of problems that occur from it could possibly decrease. Personally, I think it is at least worth the try.
WALSENBURG was called the "City Built on Coal" during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Exhibits highlight memories of the more than 100 mining camps in Huerfano County which were home to thousands of miners and their families.
LOCATED IN the 1896 Huerfano County Jail, the Walsenburg Mining Museum also has memorabilia from the original jail including a "furnished" cell. See where such notable law-breakers as Bob Ford, the murderer of Jesse James (he killed another man in Walsenburg), and Mary "Mother" Jones, a labor organizer in the 1903-1904 and bloody 1913-1914 coal miners' strikes. Another display shows the opposite side of the labor force with a complete office once belonging to the owner of a coal mining company.
THE MINING Museum displays vintage photographs of the miners, their families, homes and camps. Also on display are maps and charts, miner's personal gear and belongings, tools and equipment. One map highlights the world origins of the unfortunate miners killed in local mines. There also is much genealogical material for those searching for their roots. A gift shop on the premises offers books, maps, and other informational materials as well as souvenirs and keepsakes.
The Holly Leaf Miner is a small fly with larvae that cause discoloured blotches by feeding inside holly leaves. Grubs of the holly leaf miner tunnel inside the leaves. There is one generation a year, and the adult flies lay eggs on the new foliage in May to June. When the larvae have completed their feeding in the following spring, they pupate inside the leaf mines.
There is plenty of evidence of their mining work at Warley Place Nature Reserve!
Regulations governing mining operations are specific to national and jurisdictional regulations and local circumstances. While their variation precludes an extensive review in this report, given that regulatory failures and inadequacies contribute to tailings dam failures (Golder and Associates 2016), an international regulatory systems review would be beneficial in improving tailings management.
Tailings Dam failures are a shared responsibility, caused as much by regulatory as management failure. In cases of catastrophic failures, the regulatory system has failed to ensure good design, and to implement, monitor and enforce adequate standards. As ICOLD determined, these failures are frequently human-caused. Regulatory systems with multiple, independent checks are required to ensure standards and detect impending failures.
A regulatory system, for example, should cover the civil works, environmental performance and risk calculations associated with tailings storage facilities. They should also stipulate financial requirements for perpetual management of waste or a requirement for rehabilitation to a level that enables the site to be safely relinquished for reuse for non-mining purposes. While the practical requirements for mine waste planning, treatment, storage, monitoring and management are highly specific to the mine location, some higher-level issues are widely applicable. The figure illustrates an evolution of tailings management, from proponent-driven to a gradual increase in regulations for a more inclusive approach that would reduce risk for all stakeholders.
