Strip mining just outside of the protected area of the Mansfield Battlefield. Taken in March of 2006. I have not been back to see if the mining company did a good job at restoring the land.

This was a very fun trip and I hope to do it again next year. As a member of the Peninsula Wilderness club for almost a year now, I still had not gone on any outings with them. This all changed on this Sunday as 3 other members and myself did the "Koski" Loop. This loop is un-officially named after one of the members that first suggested this hike to the group. The hike starts at the Tubal Cain trailhead then veers off onto the Tull Canyon trail going to its end and eventually going off trail at its end climbing up to the col or saddle between Hawk Peak and Mount Worthington. Once on the ridge or col, travel northeast on the ridge until you reach the top of Hawk Peak. After summiting Hawk Peak. Make your way down towards Silver Lake which is visible from the ridge onto a faint boot path which is also visible from the ridge and through a large scree field until you reach the lake. Once you are at the lake, head on to the Silver Lake trail and follow it up the ridge between Welch Peak and Mount Townsend. For a quick summit bear right or south for an easy scramble to the top of Welch Peak. After Welch, head back down the ridge to regain the Silver Lake Trail and continue until you reach the Mount Townsend Trail. Take a left or west, going uphill towards Mount Townsend following trail until you get to summit. From summit going north, trail becomes the Little Quilcen Trail Continue downhill to a junction veering left and staying on ridge. This trail is also known as the Dirty Face Ridge Trail. Follow steep downhill trail until you reach the trailhead at road. A short walk downhill returns you to the start of the the hike.
Total Miles for trip, 16 or 17 depending on who you ask. Elevation - Just over a mile at around 5400 feet.

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.
I allowed myself a little fun when processing these photos!
Sand Mining---Sand mining activities, a tradition spanning many decades, in Tugumukti village, Cisarua, Bandung, West Java, Indonesia, 7 September 2011. The hills of Cisarua hold great potential as their sand is of very high quality, so much so that illegal mining activity is threatening the destruction of the ecosystems of the hills. Seeing as it is their only means of income, something must be done to prevent any further illegal poaching from occuring.

Tablet showing the mining camps in the Pittsburg-Weir Coal Field Miners Memorial in Pittsburg Kansas. The Miners Memorial celebrates and preserves the rich mining and immigrant history of the deep shaft and strip miners, including auxiliary workers, in the Weir-Pittsburg Coal Field located in Cherokee and Crawford counties. Each of the names carved on the tablets worked the Weir-Pittsburg Coal Field located in Cherokee and Crawford counties. The area would be home to over a hundred camps but only a few became towns and cities.
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.
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.

There are quite a few of these around locally. Male Andrena mining bees can be notoriously difficult to identify but the small size (~9mm), the black facial hairs, the time of year and the fact that there are lots of female Andrena bicolor about, suggests that this one is a male of the species.

The coal mining risk assessment includes an assessment of the Coal Authority Mining Report. The fundamental purposes of the coal mining risk assessment are to identify the risks of coal mining at the development site. The Coal Authority is a legal consultant for any planning application within a High-Risk Zone. Also, a visit to the offices of the Coal Authority to assess mining plans, a review of modern and historical published geological maps, and a review of technical reports/memoirs.
