Nevada Quicksilver Mine

Nevada Quicksilver Mine
Antelope Springs District, Pershing County, Nevada, USA. This mine was active up thru ca. 1970. Mercury (a.k.a. quicksilver) used to be a valuable strategic metal, and there were earnest predictions as late as 1980 or so that it would be the first metal to have major shortages.

Of course, now you can't give the stuff away...
