PotosÃ, 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!

Roslyn, WA - Roslyn was a coal mining town for about 30 yrs in the early 20th century. Roslyn pays tribute to the miners that made the town in this mural. They take pride in their heritage in other monuments around the town center. Many immigrants came to Roslyn during the mining days and made the town what it was... and is.

In November 2017, the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) held its second country dialogue on artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) in Geita, Tanzania.
The dialogue followed months of preparatory work with Tanzanian partners HakiMadani and MTL Consulting.
Participants spent two days visiting four-small-scale mines in Geita, one of Tanzania's main gold-producing regions. This was followed by two days in workshops discussing how to make ASM in Tanzania more sustainable.
Here, participant are setting priorities for Tanzanian women in ASM.

And old "Beam" single-cylinder steam engine used in Colorado mining. Used for pumping and lifting, these engines were not efficient and were replaced by other types. But gold (and silver, ...) were powerful incentives so the mining folks did not wait for efficiency - they wanted things "yesterday", if not sooner.
This limestone mine and processing plant are in the Santa Rita Mountains near Helvetia, a ghost town, which was deserted after copper mining played 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.
