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.

Bodie is a ghost town in the Bodie Hills east of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Mono County, California. Only a small part of the town survives, preserved in a state of arrested decay. Interiors remain as they were left and stocked with goods. Designated as a National Historic Site and a State Historic Park in 1962, the remains of Bodie are being preserved in a state of arrested decay. Today this once thriving mining camp is visited by tourists, howling winds and an occasional ghost.
Audrey Headframe Park
Jerome, Arizona
The Audrey shaft is 1,900 feet deep, the water level is at 1,500 feet. The park maintains a glass observation platform over the shaft and illuminates the depth with a bright stage light and a mirror
Largest wooden headframe still standing in Arizona, it was completed in 1918 to haul ore up from the mine. Shaft is 1900 feet deep, concrete lined with cross tunnels every 100 feet to Edith shaft. Edith shaft headframe was completed in 1915 to haul men and supplies. A wooden structure, it was torn down in 1981 and replaced with the steel version you see today, 260' to NW.
Between 1915 and 1938 almost 4 million tons of ore was extracted from the mine, producing 397,000 tons of Copper, 221 tons of silver and 5.5 tons of gold. Ore was brought to the surface then transported by tram and burro train, to the railhead in the valley. Later, ore was taken out underground through the Josephine tunnel, which was 1300 feet down and 2.5 miles long.

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'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.
