I thought this was dwarfy enough.  Most of these mines were before modern methods of production.

Nice site, maybe we'll all start using mining terms now:

Wow, it's a small world. One of the mines listed on that site is a retired zinc mine five minutes from my house! I took a field trip there in the third grade.

It's been just over two years since I was last in a mine.

It was fun. I miss being in a mine.
