Slope mining is a method of accessing valuable geological material, such as coal or ore . A sloping access shaft travels downwards towards desired material. Slope mines differ from shaft mining shaft and drift mining drift mines , which access resources by tunneling straight down or horizontally, respectively. In slope mining, the primary access to the mine is on an incline. Hoist mining Mine hoists may still be used to raise and lower loads on the incline if it is steep, but on shallower slopes, conveyor belt s, locomotive s or truck s may do the work. Drainage and ventilation of slope mines may be done using the primary slope, or it may be done using auxiliary shafts or bore holes. ref James G.

A mining community , also known as a mining town or a mining camp , is a community that houses miners . Mining communities are usually created around a Mining mine or a quarry for the extraction or smelter ing of ore . History United States In the United States several different types of communities were established by Americans during the American Frontier frontier period mining towns, railroad town s, cow town s and farming town s were the primary settlements built. Throughout the continental United States and Alaska, valuable minerals were discovered and mining operations launched. The miners would usually settle a site and make home of tent s and shack s, eventually mining buildings such as smelters or stamp mills would be constructed followed by Log cabin cabin s, general store store s and bar establishment saloon s. A community would naturally be born with the settling of women and children and existed as long as precious metal could be dug from the area. Sometimes the geographical location of a mining community or the various American railroads would ensure a community s existence after all the valuable minerals were gone. Many American mining communities became ghost town s though others have become prominent city cities . A settlement usually can only be considered a mining community ... a type of mining community.
