Bodie California State Historic Park in the Eastern Sierra Nevada mountains is an old mining ghost-town that is now maintained in a state of "arrested decay".
This is a ship used to defend mining ships from pirate attacks and chase away unauthorized miner vessels around asteroid belts.
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.
Scott Maggard brings his buggy towards the mouth of the mine as he prepares to enter into the darkness under the mountain above him.

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!
BERLIN-ICHTHYOSAUR STATE PARK -- parks.nv.gov/bi.htm -- Berlin, a turn-of-the-century mining town, is preserved in a state of arrested decay. A trail through the town site tells the story of Berlin and its mine. Ichthyosaurs (pronounced “ick-thee-o-sores”) were ancient marine reptiles that swam in a warm ocean covering central Nevada 225 million years ago. Remains of these giant marine vertebrates are on display at the park’s Fossil House, and these official state fossils are a primary attraction for visitors from throughout the world. A nature trail connects the campground to the Fossil House. Guided tours of the Fossil House and the Diana Mine are offered from Memorial Day to Labor Day. A short distance from the park, visitors can explore the historic towns of Ione and Grantsville. The park is located 23 miles east of Gabbs on State Route 844. The park is open all year, but winter travel may be prohibitive due to snow.
I don't think I've ever seen a mining bee before, but think this is one. From my book, it looks like Andrena haemorrhoa. Happy to be corrected. There is also a mite in this shot.

This abandonded mine shaft was discovered by my brother and I on a hike in the black hills. It was very interesting, all the old remnants of a fully functioning gold mine were still there. Even the mine shaft, a VERY deep hole, was still there as determined by throwing a large rock down it.

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.
