Sloss No. 2 Mine

The following photos are from a historical survey commission by the Library of Congress of the Sloss No. 2 Iron Ore mine in Bessemer. The mine operated from the 1890s until the late 1940s. I have visited the site many times but alas cannot find my photos so I hope these will do. It is one of about six mines that dot red mountain through the bessemer area.

have you been to any of the mines in east roebuck? they imploded some of them, but there are still quite a few left open with rail systems and even a few old mining cars.
some of my friends and I filmed a hardy boys movie there for our english class in 8th grade. I miss alabama
