The mill, where ore was crushed and graded.
Tin was mined at Geevor from the 18th Century under the name East Levant Mine until 1840, then North Levant from 1851 to 1891, when it was closed. It became Geevor Mine in 1911. Tin mining was badly affected by collapses in the price of tin in the 1980s, but despite efforts to keep the mine running, it closed down in 1990, the pumps being turned off in 1991, flooding the mine. There is tin in the mine, but extraction is economically unviable. Later it was turned into a tourist attraction.
Some old rusty mining equipment strewn amongst the ruins of the old mining town of Alta, Colorado. This ghost town is located about 8 miles South of Telluride up a one lane gravel mountain road.

My new favorite statue.
This afternoon we went with the scouts to visit the Sterling Hill Mining Museum. A mere hour away and a prominent zinc mine (back in the day) and I'd never heard of it! It was fascinating and so informative.
