The Barony A Frame Trust was set up in 1997 as a community led charitable Trust specifically to save and restore the iconic A Frame at the former Barony Colliery in Auchinleck, East Ayrshire.
Following the decision by Scottish Coal to close the pit, all of the mine buildings were demolished leaving the A Frame structure isolated in a derelict landscape. However, no one had banked on the depth of feeling for the former Barony Colliery and its unique A Frame. The community rallied around the mission to save the A Frame from demolition. and create a meaningful and sustainable monument to mining and mining communities.
The structure was in need of a major face-lift so, with assistance from East Ayrshire Council, the Trust set about raising £1.3m to carry out the work. Fundraising took far longer than was initially anticipated but by 2007 the remedial work to the A Frame was complete along with major landscaping and improvement works to the surrounding site. The end result is a sustainable, meaningful monument to the mining industry and the communities who worked in it.
In September, 1971, I hitchhiked to Aspen, Colorado from New York
City with about $100 in my pocket. I didn't know anybody when I
got to Aspen and had no plan other than to get a job for the
season and ski. However, I didn't go to a sin... more
Using the pickaxe to "mine" a block. One side of each box was just paper (no cardboard behind it) so they could break through easily.
To control the chaos, we gave out cards (we had 5 total), and told the kids to look for a block that matches the card. When they found it, they would bring the card back to get a new card. It made sure there were only a few kids mining at once. Luckily, we had a good group of kids that followed along.

In the village of Kayelekera, former sex-worker Queen Kaira (right) wraps up a meeting with sex workers from the village. “For us as ladies, the only way to get employment at the mine is to have sex with the big bosses”, says Brendah Kaonga (second from right in foreground). “There’s only disadvantages,” says Jenny of the mine (second from left), “at the end of the day you are getting infected, getting diseases.” Several unemployed men also dropped in on the meeting to express their discontent.
The World Museum of Mining was founded in 1963 when the close of Butte's mining heyday was less than two decades away. In the end Butte Montana experienced a century of hardrock mining and earned the reputation of being home to one of the world's most productive copper mines of all time. The Museum exists to preserve the enduring history of Butte and the legacy of its rich mining and cultural heritage.
The World Museum of Mining is one of the few museums in the world located on as actual mine yard- the Orphan Girl Mine. With fifty exhibit buildings, countless artifacts, and sixty-six primary exhibits in the mine yard.
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.

The Red Lodge Mining District is located near the southeastern termination of the Beartooth Mountains, southwest of the town of Red Lodge in southern Montana, USA. Active mining took place during the 1940s. Most of the old, small mines occur on the high plateaus or just below the eroded plateau edges.
Mines in the Red Lodge District targeted chromium ores in the form of black-colored chromitite rocks hosted in serpentinite and bastite (= serpentinized pyroxene). In this area, lenses, or pods, or fault-chopped stratiform bodies of serpentinite occur among high-grade metamorphic rocks such as quartzites, gneisses, migmatites, amphibolites, etc. Chromitite is a coarsely-crystalline textured, intrusive igneous rock that is rich in the mineral chromite (FeCr2O4 - iron chromium oxide).
The rocks in the Beartooth Mountains are very old. They are principally Archean in age (2.5+ billion years old). The chromite-bearing serpentinite bodies of the Red Lodge District were originally chromite-bearing peridotites (dunites) of early Neoarchean age, or older. Granulite-grade to upper amphibolite-grade regional metamorphism at about 2.75 Ga altered the original dunites to serpentinites. The rocks of the area were also altered by greenschist-grade metamorphism between 1.6 to 1.8 billion years ago, during the late Paleoproterozoic.
Locality: old chromite mine, near the eroded edge of the Beartooth Plateau, southeastern side of Rock Creek Canyon, southwest of the town of Red Lodge, Red Lodge Chromite District (Red Lodge Mining District), Beartooth Mountains, southern Montana, USA (45° 02' 04.36" North latitude, 109° 24' 35.11" West longitude)

I don't believe strip mining will ever be stopped until the Federal Goverment steps in. There just isn't enough power in the general public. We have beautiful land in this region that can be observed easily. I believe the only way that our land will be preserved is to turn more of our unclaimed land into state parks or national forest. Many of the areas right in our backyards are just as pretty as many of the national forest. So the general public needs to step up, confront the goverment, and get them to do something about our land being perished.
