The Museum is run by a group of volunteers in a microgranite quarry at Threlkeld, with a Geology Room, Bookshop, Underground Experience, Gold Panning, Excavator Display, Engine House and Steam Engine, all there to enjoy together with the Quarry and the views. Also on offer are mine tours and mineral panning.
The quarry itself is a RIGS site and displays contacts between the “Skiddaw Slate” and the granite intrusion, as well as other fascinating features.
Threlkeld Quarry and Mining Museum have their own narrow gauge railway and “Sir Tom”, a steam locomotive, hauls passengers daily in the summer holidays and on other weekends. In quiet periods one of the collection of vintage classic diesel locos is used.

Audrey Headframe Park
Jerome, Arizona
The Audrey shaft is 1,900 feet deep, the water level is at 1,500 feet. The park maintains a glass observation platform over the shaft and illuminates the depth with a bright stage light and a mirror
Largest wooden headframe still standing in Arizona, it was completed in 1918 to haul ore up from the mine. Shaft is 1900 feet deep, concrete lined with cross tunnels every 100 feet to Edith shaft. Edith shaft headframe was completed in 1915 to haul men and supplies. A wooden structure, it was torn down in 1981 and replaced with the steel version you see today, 260' to NW.
Between 1915 and 1938 almost 4 million tons of ore was extracted from the mine, producing 397,000 tons of Copper, 221 tons of silver and 5.5 tons of gold. Ore was brought to the surface then transported by tram and burro train, to the railhead in the valley. Later, ore was taken out underground through the Josephine tunnel, which was 1300 feet down and 2.5 miles long.
Audrey Headframe Park
Jerome, Arizona
Jerome is perched on the side of Cleopatra Hill deposits. In 1876, mining claims and a mill were located near the over rich ore town. These claims were purchased in 1882 by the United Verde Company, and the tent camp was named Jerome after Eugene Jerome, a major financier of the company. Senator William Clark of Montana purchased the company in 1883. By the mid 1920s the population had grown to almost 15,000 before it began to decline.
Walking down Main Street is like taking a step back in time. Remnants of the "Red Light District," Company Hill, old hotels, and saloons still exist. Today the population is close to 500. When the mines shut down in the 1950s, the population was below 100. It was then the town became known as a ghost town. However, today it is a thriving destination tourist town and a national historic landmark.
Bersham Mine was open the other day as I passed so couldn't resist the chance to pop in and have a wander round. So many photo opportunities here.
With the Mining Industry Booming at the moment, Pacific National, with its large fleet of locomotives and rollingstock still cannot cope with the pressure. They have done numerous things to keep up with the Industry. Buying new rollingstock is one.
This seen here is another good example. The last two Locomotives of this Lash up are on loan to PacNat from Chicago Freight Car Leasing Australia (CFCLA) with the PacNat 82 Class leading since they suite the crews trainings and needs.
Also, these Coal wagon once used to be Wheat Wagons. Ironically, the Wheat industry of PacNat is coming to a close (due to the draught) and lately they have just been transferring the locomotives and rollingstock from Rural and Bulk straight into Southern Coal!
So, in the next coming years (besides PacNat carbon footprint) we should see some interesting combos that occur in Coal train movements.
