By the mid century, mining technology had progressed so that mechanical devices such as the continuous miner could cut and load the coal without haveing to blast and shovel by hand. Here two miners work on the rotating cutting teeth of one of the machines.

I've posted pictures of this kind of thing before, but the power of hydraulics still gets me every time. In this case what you're looking at are the two hydraulic rams which are used to lift the "box" of the mining truck to dump the material out. Each of the two rams is approximately the same thickness as my thigh and tapers down to about the same thickness as my lower leg. Maybe this doesn't blow your mind, but imagine holding up 150-200 tons of material with just your legs. Compare this to the rams on the CAT 793 haul trucks I posted about before which are about the thickness of my chest and carry around 240 tons nominal.

Mining started during the mid 1600s in this area and went on up to the beginning of the 1900s.
One can certainly imagine the hardships of mining here in such a remote area. Apparently, they mined from March up to October.

Virginia City is a census-designated place (CDP) that is the county seat of Storey County, Nevada. It is part of the Reno–Sparks Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 855 at the 2010 Census.
Virginia City is one of the oldest established communities in Nevada. Like many cities and towns in the state, Virginia City was a mining boomtown; it appeared virtually overnight as a result of the Comstock Lode silver strike of 1859.
At its peak, Virginia City had a population of over 15,000 residents and was called the richest city in America. During the 20 years following the Comstock success "about $400 million was taken out of the ground." Most of the miners who came to the city were Cornish or Irish. In 1870, Asians were 7.6% of the population. When the Comstock Lode ran out in 1898, the city's population declined sharply.
Virginia City could be considered the "birthplace" of Mark Twain, as it was here in February 1863 that writer Samuel Clemens, then a reporter on the local Territorial Enterprise newspaper, first used his famous pen name.
Many locals work at the shops in town that cater to tourists, while others seek jobs in the surrounding cities. Virginia City draws over 2 million visitors per year and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Celebrating Halloween Along the Elkhorn Scenic Byway on the Sumpter Valley Railroad's Halloween Train and Trunk Or Treating at the Sumpter Valley Dredge
A great fall day along the Elkhorn Scenic Byway in Northeast Oregon celebrating fall and Halloween including a ride on the Sumpter Valley Railroad's Halloween Train and a tour of the haunted Sumpter Valley Gold Dredge and Trunk Or Treating.
One of our favorite fall foliage excursions it the Sumpter Valley Railroad's annual Halloween Train. This special holiday train pulled by the Great Pumpkin (#720 Diesel Electric) is a wonderful fall treat as the train meanders through the dredge tailings and the Elkhorn Scenic Byway from McEwen Station to Sumpter before stopping at the Sumpter Dredge State Park for a tour of the haunted dredge and trunk or treating before returning to McEwen
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Sumpter Valley Gold Dredge is the last of three built on the Powder River. Built in 1935, it ran until 1954. It dug up more than four million dollars worth of gold. The Dredge is located just a block off of the main street of the small historic mining town of Sumpter along the Elkhorn Scenic Byway
The tour of the dredge is a great way to explore the gold mining heritage of Eastern Oregon and the Sumpter Valley. The Dredge is currently undergoing restoration however park rangers will continue to host tours throughout the restoration process.
Visitors to the park can also try their luck at gold panning and explore the vast system of nature and interpretive trails that meander through the tailings left by the dredge as it worked it’s way up the river bed more than a half century ago.
The Sumpter Dredge is also the setting for bestselling author Patrick Carman’s, Skeleton Creek book series www.patrickcarman.com/enter/skeleton-creek
