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.

This is for my flickr friend, canonplanet.
Macros & close-ups are not my forte in photography.
I exchanged some views with CP and decided to have a go at this genre. (You guys judge!)
CP, I hope I can begin to call you NP soon! You know what I'm talkin' about buddy!

Mount Mulligan is a former mining town, mining coal from 1910 until 19 September 1921 when an underground explosion killed 75 miners (all the miners in the town). The mine closed, but reopened in 1923 and continued in production until 1957 when a hydro-electric scheme eliminated the need for the coal. The coal was mined from shafts dug into a Permian layer under the cliff face of a large 18 kilometres x 6.5 kilometres free-standing Triassic conglomerate and sandstone (Pepper Pot Sandstone) massif (rising up to 400 metres above the township) known by the name given it by the small group of prospectors who first sighted it in 1874 while searching the Hodgkinson River for gold, under the leadership of James Venture Mulligan. The conglomerate and sandstone massif is known to local Djungan aboriginal peoples as Ngarrabullgan.
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. :)
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.
I allowed myself a little fun when processing these photos!
Awesome lithograph depicting the engineering revolution of these small sets (the cubes of support) developed by a German mining engineer that made it possible to work in the unstable Comstock Lode.

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.

Actually I can't remember exactly what it is, but I think it is a kind of mining machine which was used in this area. It stands next to the beach in Wawa.

I am not sure what was mined or processed here. This auger was part of the processing plant at Danby.

this processing plant releases so much SO2 into the atmosphere that they are having to relocate an entire village out of harms way
