Spoil Tip
A spoil tip (also called a boney pile, culm bank, gob pile, waste tip or bing) is a pile built of accumulated ''spoil'' – waste material removed during mining. These waste materials are typically composed of shale, as well as smaller quantities of Carboniferous sandstone and other residues. Spoil tips are not formed of slag, but in some areas, such as England and Wales, they are referred to as slag heaps. In Scotland the word ''bing'' is used. The term "spoil" is also used to refer to material removed when digging a foundation, tunnel, or other large excavation. Such material may be ordinary soil and rocks (after separation of coal from waste), or may be heavily contaminated with chemical waste, determining how it may be disposed of. Clean spoil may be used for land reclamation. Spoil is distinct from tailings, which is the processed material that remains after the valuable components have been extracted from ore. Etymology The phrase originates from the French word ...

Arthur De Buyer Coal Mine
The Arthur de Buyer Coal Mine, or coal mine #11, was one of the major Ronchamp coal mines, which is in the area of the commune of Magny-Danigon in the French region of Franche-Comté. Digging started in 1894 in an attempt to ensure the future of the company, which was in a difficult position at that time. The project was directed by Leon Poussigue, director of the company since 1891. He was responsible for organizing the excavation, designing buildings and installing each machine. The seat is named as a tribute to Arthur de Buyer (the same family of the De Buyer owner), the president since 1876. He retired during the commissioning activity of the mine. Active from 1900 to the early 1950s, it was 1010 meters deep, making it the deepest mine in France in the early 20th century and the first to pass the symbolic depth of 1,000 meters. After it had produced coal for almost half a century, there were, up to the 21st century, several conversion attempts. Today only ruins remain. A pro ...

Saint-Louis Coal Mine
The Saint-Louis Coal Mine (nicknamed the "Grand Puits") is one of the main shafts at the Ronchamp coal mines in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. Located in the hamlet of La Houillère, in the commune of Champagney, it was the first real mine shaft to be dug in the Ronchamp coalfield. It was the most productive coal mine in the Ronchamp coalfield during the first half of the 19th century. On April 10, 1824, this shaft also experienced the first firedamp explosion in the coalfield, which killed twenty people and injured sixteen others. Later, on May 31, 1830, a second, even more deadly, firedamp explosion killed twenty-eight people. The pit was finally abandoned and backfilled in 1842. A mining estate was built next to the pit in the 1850s. After closure, one of the buildings was preserved as a casino and ballroom before being demolished in the 1980s. At the beginning of the 21st century, almost no trace of the facilities remains, and the shaft is now under a ...

Frédéric-Fontaine
Frédéric-Fontaine () is a commune in the Haute-Saône department in the region of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté in eastern France. Frédéric-Fontaine near Etobon, was established in 1603 by the Duke Frederick of Wurtemberg as a haven for persecuted Swiss Protestants and others from France. He found a cool spring here on a hunting trip in 1586, hence the “fountain.” Fourteen founding families settled here in the early 17th century. Continued pressure on religious freedom, European conflicts (such as the War of the Austrian Succession) and lack of economic opportunity led some families from Frédéric-Fontaine to emigrate, mainly to North America. Many of these families, alongside others in the region and also from the Palatinate, boarded ships in the 1750s for Nova Scotia as part of the British scheme to settle newly acquired colony with Foreign Protestants The Foreign Protestants were a group of French Lutheran and German Protestant immigrants to Nova Scotia. They larg ...
