Broken Hill is located east of the Simpson Desert in Australia. Silver, lead and zinc were discovered here in vast reserves in the 19th Century and it has been a huge mining centre ever since. The entire city is dominated by mining, mining history, and the legacy of wealth resulting in fine monumental stone buildings in an unlikely desert setting.
The genus Andrena is a large one with many species superficially like honey bees. Other characteristics are ; 3 sub-marginals and the tongue is small and pointed.
Often known as mining bees because they generally nest in the ground and appear in spring.
This bee is easily recognised by the rich brown thorasic hair and the rather flat shiney blackish - brown abdomen with its golden or reddish brown tip. The male has brown facial hair and the female has white.
One of the earliest of the mining bees, usually seen from march to june on a wide range of flowers, including blackthorn , dandelions and sallow.
The burrows are dug in many open habitats, including parks and garden lawns.
Looking East on Steelville's Main Street where iron ore mining and furnaces were once king before the ore discoveries in Minnesota's great iron range.
A notice to the employees of the Witherbees, Sherman & Co. announcing that as the "prospects of the Iron buisness get worse and worse" they will either have to "close mines or reduce wages." This poster informed the workers how much their wages would be cut. In 1938, when Republic Steel purchased the Witherbee Sherman mines they raised the wages, making the mining salary one of the best in town.

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.
