The massive Nordberg steam hoist could lift 10 tons of ore at more than 30 mph.  See how “Old Reliable” became an engineering marvel—and why it all came to a halt. #QuincyMine #MichiganHistory #MiningLife | Thumbwind | Facebook

Down there the rock is 150 °F—hot enough to boil an egg on the spot. Miners dig through 5,400 tons of rock every year to pull out 8,000 kilograms of gold. This single mine gives 16% of the world’s gold! Would you dare to work in such deep, boiling heat for gold? | Epixology | Facebook
