Favorite mine photos

[Mike369]

I am bored because the snow is making it difficult to access the mines. So I would like to see some of everyone's favorite mine photos. Seeing everyone's photos will hopefully quench my thirst for the next few months of winter.
This is one of my favorites because we found this old hand pump and tons of old rubber hose. You can see in the picture that most of the hose is broken up and rotted pretty bad. Just on the other side of the pump was a tunnel that was about 1 foot deep for the entire length and then the rest of the levels above and below this were dry, for the most part.

Here are a couple pics from one of my favorite mine sites. Even though the entrance to the underground workings are caved in.

Now those are some cool photos!! Thanks for sharing Stu! I especially like the one showing the inner workings of what appears to be the loading chutes of a block caving operation. This might be off topic from those of historical operations, but I thought I'd share some mining history currently being made.

Here's a photograph of a floatation project showing the erection of six mechanical scavengers in process. Too bad there aren't any old remanants of the flotation circuits of the old Bauer mill left to examine.

That picture was taken just up the canyon from Creede Colorado.

Buddy of mine looking ant-like.


Great shot of my buddy Ken climbing in the War Eagle - Secondary flash was misbehaving so I got lucky.


Love the eyes.

Great lighting on my poor friend Rob who needed a han... foot.
