The Blue Bird Mine was intermittently active for more than 90 years before closing permanently to mining in the early 1960s. In between active mining periods, the complex -- which sits near the edge of a quiet meadow with expansive views -- became a favorite "whistle stop" for tourists visiting the mountains on the Switzerland Trail Railroad in the early 1900s.

GHH mining machine underground shovel, when they were introduced in the Monteponi mine, helped to make the work lighter and faster. He wouldn't mind seeing it displayed in a protected area and not exposed to the elements. A machine created to work indoors that ends its "career" outdoors. The most interesting part are the reinforcements made by hand welding along the entire profile of the blade of the shovel. Although not a certainly functional artistic work; this is proof of the mastery and skills that the staff had acquired in working in a mine like this.
Pala da sottosuolo GHH mining machine, quando vennero introdotte nella miniera di Monteponi aiutarono a rendere il lavoro più leggero e veloce. Non sabbe male vederla esposta in una zona protetta e non esposta alle intemperie. Una macchina che nasce per lavorare al chiuso che finisce al sua "carriera" all'aria aperta. La parte più interessante sono i rinforzi realizzati con saldatura a mano lungo tutto il profilo della lama della pala. Seppure non un lavoro artistico sicuramente funzionale; questo a riprova della maestria e delle competenze che il personale aveva acquisito nel lavorare in una miniera come questa.
A coal preparation plant (CPP) is a facility that washes coal of soil and rock, preparing it for transport to market. A CPP may also be called a "coal handling and preparation plant" (CHPP), "prep plant," "tipple," or "wash plant".

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.
Worth remembering Scotland once had a thriving coal industry. Boness was no exception, the pit being at Kinneil, just near to the site of Kinneil Station. This memorial pays tribuite to the industry.
Arigna miners would lie on their sides in this space which was often water-logged. And then there were the rats...
A coal mining risk assessment is a well-established procedure for determining whether a devel-opment site is in a high-risk area. It requires validating plan proposals for non-householder and commercial planning applications in a high-risk area for development proposals.
The coal mining risk assessment includes an assessment of the Coal Authority Mining Report. 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. The other pur-pose of a coal mine risk assessment is to identify coal mine risks at the development site and de-velop a plan to ensure the safety and sustainability of the development site. Earth Environmental & Geotechnical's experienced team immediately revises your mining risk assessment. For more details kindly visit- www.earthenvironmental.co.uk/coal-mining-risk-assessment/

Quincy Mining Company, Captains House in Hancock, Michigan. This house was on tour in June 2008. The rooms in this house are rented out. I believe most of the tenants are students at Michigan Tech. University. Even though this house is a rental it remains in relatively good and original condition.
