According to the historic gold museum in Dahlonega, the gold found in North Georgia is considered to be some of the world’s finest, with a purity content of about 98%, higher than that later found in both California and Alaska. Because of this purity, mining was an integral part of Dahlonega’s economy and culture for many years. Mining started after Benjamin Parks found gold in 1828. However, as the years passed by, it became harder and harder to find the precious metal in streams and shallow digging. New ways to mine were developed, including digging deep mines into the mountains and using high-powered water cannons (like the one shown here). Hydraulic mining (using water cannons) wore down the mountain so that the miners could get to the gold ore; hydraulic mining, unfortunately, left huge, ugly gashes in the mountains’ sides.
Information found in the historical film shown at the Dahlonega gold museum shows that mining in North Georgia continued through the 1900s. In fact, in the 1930s, the mining business struck their wealthiest findings that ever the mines had produced. Graham DuGas, owner of the Calhoun mine, made a fortune in the early 1900s in the gold industry. However, the mines were all abandoned during World War II, when the men left to go fight.

Last used around 1873 at Island Mine, Isle Royal. I was amazed at how well preserved this machine is.
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.

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.
Mining, especially tin mining were a great chapter in the country. Cities like Kuala Lumpur, which eventually grew as the capital of Malaysia were one a mining district itself after being developed by miners.
Tin mining were an important source of wealth during 19th century, during the British colony. Tens of thousands of Chinese immigrants were subsequently brought in to run mining operations.
By the end of the 19th century, Malaysia was supply 55% of the world's tin, however, the number reduced drastically due to increase of supply by China and Brazil and the collapse in tin price.
Currently, there are only about three tin dredges left in the country, 2 in Selangor (which can be seen when flying in/out from KLIA) and 1 in Perak. The latter is at Chenderong, near Tanjung Tualang. In 2005 there were plans to save the dredge and turn it into a tourist museum. Work began but the project was never completed. Then in Apr 2007 similar plans were revived. The dredge finally opened to the public in Feb 2008, and packages include guided tours – inside the dredge, a trip to a tin mining museum and later there will be movies on how the 4,500 tonne giant works.
