  1. An old mine site outside Lake City, Colorado. A log cabin and a board shack still standing, the mine’s headframe up the hill behind. Black and white for the texture of the weathered wood and the history in it.

  8. (1/4) Is 50 years a long time for a closed mine? This article discusses the continuing selenium pollution associated with a closed coal mine in Canada. Yet our researchers are investigating how pollution from mining can be visible after 500 years.

  13. A reaction from me to today's article on Ferdinand von Sommer by Professor Alexandra Ludewig (UWA) in The Conversation:

    Genius or charlatan? The strange tale of a 19th-century polymath who left a trail of controversy across colonial Australia.

  16. Some things are faster on their way to publication than others. Turns out, the head editor of the #Bywgraffiadur is a fast reader and gave the green light for my unabridged, original version to get published on my blog.

    So for those of you who enjoy their #HistoryOfMedicine, #MiningHistory, #EighteenthCentury and immigrants from #Germany with opinions about #MineralWaters in #Wales, I offer you a short biography of Diederich Wessel Linden (d.1769).

  17. [EN] Even the ancient Romans... No, I don't want to go back that far. But let's take a brief look at the Ancien Régime, i.e. the time before 1789! The territory of today's Saarland was divided into many small dominions - as was usual in the Holy Roman Empire. Some parts (such as Saarlouis and the surrounding area) belonged to France, some to the Electorate of Trier and some to the Principality of Nassau-Saarbrücken, and so on and so forth. In the middle of the 18th century, Wilhelm Heinrich von Nassau Saarbrücken bought up all the mines, creating a state monopoly and prohibiting private mining. The mines remained state-owned even under France; although there were plans for privatisation, they were not implemented. The mines also remained state-owned under Prussia (and Bavaria).

  22. All that remains now of the Lead Mines at Woodhead, Carsphairn are a few ruined buildings, a few slag heaps and some mildly alarming holes in the hillside. Once a bustling wee community of around 300 people lived and worked here.
