unreferenced date April 2012 The AdmiraltyMining Establishment was a technical department of the Royal Navy responsible for both the design of Naval mine naval mines and the development of suitable countermeasures. In keeping with many technical departments it employed both military and highly skilled, civilian personnel. It was partly located near Portsmouth naval base at West Leigh House, Havant. During the World War II Second World War it recruited a number of scientists to its ranks. Many of them went on to become highly regarded in their respective fields including David Bates physicist David Bates , Robert Boyd physicist Robert Boyd , Francis Crick , Tom Gaskell , John Currie Gunn John Gunn , Harrie Massey and Nevill Mott .

The Pinacate MiningDistrict is a five to eight miles southwest of Perris, California . It included the Good Hope Mine , Steele s Mine, Santa Rosa Rosalia Mine, Virginia or Shay Mine, Santa Fe Mine and many other smaller works like the Little Maggie Mine. It produced a total of about 104,000 ounces of gold through 1959, all from the lodes of various mines. Although the district declined until the mid 1930 s when attempts were made to rehabilitate the Good Hope and several other mines. These efforts were largely unsuccessful, the Good Hope mine closed when it was flooded with underground water. Only 3 ounces of gold were produced in the district between 1943 59.

Orphan date February 2012 no footnotes date October 2011 Also known as the Salmon Creek District, the Ruby MiningDistrict is an abandoned miningdistrict in north central Washington State, founded in 1887 by Thomas D. Fuller. The principle mined ore was silver, though, copper , lead , and small amounts of gold were also extracted. History The Moses Indian Reservation was opened to mining in 1886. Almost immediately after, prospectors began rushing into the Okanogan. Out of the many places, one of them was Ruby Mountain. In 1885, a Prospecting prospector named Thomas D. Fuller built the first cabin in the area in which would later become the town of Ruby. This leads some to believe that him and possible others had been prospecting and mining in the area secretly for some time. As would be assumed, he made the first discoveries in the area after the reservation s opening. Others, including Thomas Donan, William Milligan, and John Clonan also made some of the first discoveries. In 1887, the district was officially named and designated by Fuller and several others. By this time, the Idaho, First Thought, Second Thought, Poorman, Ruby, Butte, Peacock, War Eagle, Fairview, and Lenora mines were in operation.
