Situated on the "Bund" (belt road constructed along the coast of Wakamatsu), the Furukawa Mining Company office, designed and built by Obayashi Corporation in 1919 typifies the style of the Taisho period. It now serves as a community center.
It was built in a time of prosperity for the city of Wakamatsu as coal mined in the Chikuho area was transported to Wakamatsu for export.
I think it is possibly the best maintained old building I have seen in Japan, it looks brand new, inside and out.

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.

"Responsible mining: Good for miners! Child labour: Away," the delegates chanted.
Experts and global actors from Africa, Asia, and the Americas joined the Inter-Regional Knowledge Sharing on Child Labour and Working Conditions in the Artisinal and Small-Scale Gold Mining (ASGM) held in Manila from 28 to 30 May 2019. The 3-day forum provided a venue to exchange knowledge, technologies, practices and challenges to put forward concrete solutions to address child labour and poor working conditions in the ASGM sector.

I love that the big lumbering service trucks on our mine are named Galactica, Voyager, Enterprise and Excelsior
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.
Kawah Ijen is Java's famous sulfur-belching volcanic crater. It is also the regular workplace for almost three hundred men, who make the grueling journey up the mountain and down the crater rim to mine sulfur.
The men depend on nothing more than a metal rod and sheer muscle power. They have no special equipment to assist them with the mining and little to no protection from the poisonous fumes that the volcano constantly expels. The job of the men at Kawah Ijen might be one of the most difficult and dangerous in the world
