PotosĆ, Bolivia. *Sandy and me with our silver mining pose. We were pretty dirty at this point! And for the record, there are 140 million toxic mili-particles entering Sandy's system at this point because he dared to go hankerchief-less!

Many many thanks to Shanti and Arthur for their kindness guiding us inside those mines.

The Braastad-Gossard Building was erected in 1888 and remodeled and expanded in 1903-04 for Frederick Braastad as the home of his F. Braastad & Co. department store and then remodeled and modernized in 1948 while it housed the H. W. Gossard factory. The building meets national register criterion A and B because of its direct association with Braastad, who was an early, longtime, and leading Ishpeming businessman, and with the Braastad department store, a leading commercial institution in Ishpeming until its closing in the early 1920s. The building also meets critenon A under Industry and Social History for housing the Ishpeming plant of the H. W. Gossard Co., a Chicago-based women's undergarment manufacturer, from 1920 until1976. Gossard was for a time the leading employer in Ishpeming, with more than 500 employees on its payroll. Secondly, the firm's presence in Ishpeming relates to a broad Upper Peninsula mining town - and also national - industrial pattern of textile plants setting up shop in mining towns to take advantage of a potentially large and low-cost labor force of women from the mining families who would be willing to work to supplement the family income. In addition, Gossard's Ishpeming plant operating out of this building was the site of a strike in 1949 that is important in Upper Peninsula history for the leading role played by women in beginning and carrying out the strike.

Photographed at the Battery Hill Mine Museum. Tennant Creek has a rich history as a gold mining centre. Here was found one of the richest gold bearing seams ever mined in the world. Very remotely located in central Australian desert country, life was harsh for the people who lived here.

A mining bee, appears to be an Andrena species, a very diverse genus. There has been a colony (or aggregation, really) of these bees at this site for at least several years. Along with them are attending brood parasites (such as another bee, Nomada) and various parasitoids. It is in an area of very short grass adjacent to a parking lot. When I first came across it, several years ago, I thought it was an ant colony.

Mining operations use massive amounts of water , which can place a stress on local aquifers and local economies and lives. Some companies are trying to reduce their water use. Here, an artificial lake created by Antamina to recycle the water it uses.

Hell Roarin' Gulch is the replica town at The World Museum of Mining in Butte, MT. You enter the museum grounds in the middle of town. My impression is that it's slightly downscaled. They try & cover the aspects of an old mining town from the days of active mines. this continues our summer trip.
