Audrey Headframe Park
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.

This is one of the few mines that wasn't closed up and it had some pretty cool mining stuff still in it.
LONDON MINING IS FOCUSED ON IDENTIFYING, DEVELOPING AND OPERATING MINES TO BECOME A SIGNIFICANT PRODUCER OF IRON ORE.
Protest rally called by Mining Dependents at Kranti Circle, KTC Panaji on 19.3.18. Supreme Court stopped all mining activities effective 16.3.18 after cancelling all mining permits. Protestors blocked traffic from both bridges and other entry points to the city. As a last resort, protestors were Lathi charged around 3pm. Drone videography Video youtu.be/CzaV1Hyr8Us
Hydraulic mining for gold near Dahlonega, Georgia, 1925.
Gold was mined and almost every stream in north Georgia suffered tremendous damage from hydraulic mining. But nothing lasts forever, the gold ran out and the timber companies moved in on steel rails.

May 13, 2026: New Mexico Museum of Mining in Grant, New Mexico. Constructed in 1990, this museum covers the Cold War era gold rush-style uranium mining craze. Since tours of real uranium mines might pose a radiation hazard, this museum features a simulated underground uranium mine in its basement.
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.

Details of abandoned mining equipment from the Colorado Gold Rush in Grand County. The equipment was near the site of Lulu City which existed as a mining town from about 1879 to 1883.
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!
These were the cars that were used to transport the ore out of the mines. Since mining was never profitable here, these cars have been sitting here for decades.
Jawbone Flats was established as a mining camp in the 1920s. It gets its name from the fact that while the miners were out in the mines during the day, their wives would gossip, or "jawbone", during their daily activities in town. The mining camp was shut down in the 1940s when the mining proved to be less than profitable. Shiny Rock Mining Company operated out of Jawbone Flats from 1972 to 1992.
Thanks to Senator Mark Hatfield, this area became protected as the Opal Creek Scenic Recreation Area in 1996, along with the Opal Creek Wilderness, which lies adjacent. Since this area includes old growth trees, Jawbone Flats is home to the Opal Creek Ancient Forest Center, and educational groups and individuals can come to study and learn about this ancient forest. No private vehicles are allowed here; you have to hike in 3.5 miles. In addition, the old buildings, artifacts, and equipment here are protected by federal law.
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.

Pearce, Arizona is a mining ghost town named for Cornishman James Pearce, miner and cattleman, who discovered gold nearby at what became the Commonwealth Mine in 1894. The Pearce Post Office was established on March 6, 1896. The railroad station opened in 1903. By 1919, Pearce had a population of 1,500. The town declined in the 1930s, and became almost a ghost in the late 1940s, when the mine closed for the last time.
The Commonwealth Mine became one of Arizona's major silver producers. Over 1,000,000 tons of ore were produced from 1895 to 1942. There are about 20 miles of underground workings. The mine produced about $8 million worth of silver and $2.5 million in gold at a time when silver was priced around 50 cents an ounce, and gold was $20 an ounce.
I don't think I ever uploaded this video- sometimes Flickr has troubles with the files. Anyways it's an older one. There's no way I'll bring my new camera to work so any shots from there will continue to be from the Olympus, which is a camera I have no complaints with anyways. Stories from work can always be found here:
