General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Not many mines if "Mothballed" would survive the ravages of time. They would flood or get gassed out. the tunnels would start to collapse and because the hydraulic chocks and face conveyors had not moved the chocks would close on their legs and the metal chain in the face conveyor would cease up and not run. It is not like a factory full of equipment were you can flick a switch and everything works 1st time.
