Current Goal

Starting point: Idrija, Slovenia, Europe.

SLO: Potovati do nekdanjega živosrebrovega mesta New Idria, okrožje San Benita, Kalifornija, ZDA, kjer bom odgnala temo v rudniku. Naredi sliko! Ime geocacherja bo objavljeno tukaj. New Idria (dobesedno Nova Idrija) je rudarski kraj v Kaliforniji v okrožju San Benito (ZDA). Na mestu sedanjega naselja so leta 1854 odkrili bogata najdišča cinabarita (živosrebrove rude). Ob rudniku, ki je dobil ime New Idria (Nova Idrija) po slovenski Idriji (takrat še del Avstrijskega cesarstva), je zraslo naselje z istim imenom

ENG: Travel to the former mercury town New Idria, San Benito County, California, USA, so I can bring light to the abandoned mercury mine. Make picture! Cachers name will be posted here. New Idria was an unicorporated town in San Benito County, California. It was named in 1854 after a now-inoperative quicksilver mine of the same name. The mine itself was named in honor of the world's second largest quicksilver mine in Idrija, Slovenia.

 

 

About This Item

photo 5

Carbide lamps, or acetylene gas lamps, are simple lamps that produce and burn acetylene (C2H2) which is created by the reaction of calcium carbide (CaC2) with water.

Acetylene gas lamps were used to illuminate buildings, as lighthouse beacons, and as headlights on motor-cars and bicycles. Portable acetylene gas lamps, worn on the hat or carried by hand, were widely used in mining in the early twentieth century. They are still employed by cavers, hunters, and cataphiles.
