Centralia No 5 On March 25‚ 1947‚ the Centralia No. 5 coal mine exploded near the town of Centralia‚ Illinois‚ killing 111 people. The Mine Safety and Health Administration of the United States Department of Labor reported the explosion was caused when an under burdened shot or blown-out shot ignited coal dust. In this paper‚ I plan to discuss Driscoll Scanlan‚ who was the inspector for the district for the area. “Scanlan was a stubborn‚ righteous‚ zealous‚ man of fierce integrity” (Stillman

humans first began to mine gold‚ but some of the oldest known gold artifacts were found in the Varna Necropolis in Bulgaria. The graves of the necropolis were built between 4700 and 4200 BCE‚ indicating that gold mining could be at least 7000 years old (Oancea‚ 2008). Cyanide heap leaching is the most common way of gold mining due to its cheapness. It produces highly toxic materials such as cyanide which is extremely dangerous to the surrounding areas. There are lots of gold mines in Brazil’s Amazon

Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969 – Safety Issues The UMWA‚ though unsuccessful in including its high-risk population in the reform movement‚ led to the signing of the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act‚ often called the “Coal Act”‚ under President Richard Nixon’s administration. This act acknowledged that coal mining placed workers in dangerous situations‚ and that it was the nation’s responsibility to prevent the death and serious injury of coal miners. Under this act‚ extended

Scanlan went to work in a mine near Centralia when he was 16‚ studied engineering at night school‚ and worked 13 years a mine examiner for a coal company‚ until in 1941 he was appointed one of 16 Illinois State mine inspectors by Governor Green upon recommendation of the state representative from Scanlan’s district (Martin‚ 1948). During Scanlan’s time in office there was

and open-pit mining is one of these methods. This method uses a borrow or open pit and is most frequently used in situations where the desired rocks or minerals are located close to the earth’s surface. A. The Structure of the Open-Pit Mine An open-pit mine is structured in steps‚ often also termed “benches‚” which are the pit’s vertical levels. These steps commonly range from four to sixty meters‚ but the size is largely dependent upon the machinery used by the mining company. The walls of

communities surrounding diamond mines foot the bill. Diamond Mining Means Destruction Whether diamond mines are responsibly managed or not‚ environmental destruction is inevitable and like most types of mines the area surrounding the mine is adversely effected. Most diamond mines are open pit mines requiring the digging of thousands of square meters of land. Some diamond operations are conducted on the beach or off shore‚ in which case retaining walls are built to protect the mine from waves and tidal fluctuations

1) Draw the marginal cost curve (MC) and the average total cost (ATC) curve for a Type 1 mine. Your curves should be as neat as possible‚ but they do not have to be absolutely‚ perfectly precise. You should‚ however‚ clearly label each curve. MC would be equal to AVC for every Type 1 mine firm. 2) Draw the short-run industry supply curve for the world copper market.
