Red Ore Mine Entrance

Miners stand at the entrance to the Red Ore Mine on Red Mountain in Birmingham. It was one of several coal mines operated by the Birmingham Coal and Iron Company.

Several mine workers outside the timbered entrance to a red-ore mine cut into a rocky hillside, with mine tracks and equipment in front of the opening.
