Aptly named for it's shape! Hand picked out in the 1500's - imagine doing that with a candle strapped to your felt hat! This is a copper mine
When Mining Seas
These Seas are Shored
I met these Seas after the Snows of Mine
Had melted away to Waterpure
These Seas are Mine
In Mind and Sight
And when the Sun goes down
These Seas see Night.

The Museum is run by a group of volunteers in a microgranite quarry at Threlkeld, with a Geology Room, Bookshop, Underground Experience, Gold Panning, Excavator Display, Engine House and Steam Engine, all there to enjoy together with the Quarry and the views. Also on offer are mine tours and mineral panning.
The quarry itself is a RIGS site and displays contacts between the “Skiddaw Slate” and the granite intrusion, as well as other fascinating features.
Threlkeld Quarry and Mining Museum have their own narrow gauge railway and “Sir Tom”, a steam locomotive, hauls passengers daily in the summer holidays and on other weekends. In quiet periods one of the collection of vintage classic diesel locos is used.
Granite Ghost Town in Summer, Granite County, Montana
Silver was first discovered in the area around Granite in 1865. The Granite mine, "Ruby Shaft," was discovered in 1872. During the course of silver mining at Granite, $40 million dollars worth of silver was removed, making it the "richest silver mine on earth." The mine was closed after the silver panic of 1893.
The site pictured is the east end of what remains of two massive buildings that covered the face of these rock walls and contained 70 stamp mills that crushed ore from the Ruby shaft. After crushing, the ore was sent down the hill for the silver to be separated from the base metal by amalgamation with mercury. The stamp mills worked six days a week at the height of production.These ruins and the ruins of the mining operation are located
Granite was a company town, built by the Granite Mountain Mining Company. It is located approximately four miles due north of present day Philipsburg, MT.

While in Australia I hiked a lot of trails. One of my favorites was the Great Northern walking trail, which I spoke of previously.
The hike was medium to difficult but well worth every minute of it, for not only did I see some abandoned old mines and mining holes but I was also able to see some of the old mining equipment and enjoy a relatively calm peaceful day exploring. :)

I allowed myself a little fun when processing these photos!
I'm not sure if this is an axle from a mining truck or one of the loaders, but it's the biggest I've ever seen.
Once a booming mining town, Luscar, Alberta turned slowly into a ghost town with an abandoned mining operation.
