Lead is the twin city of Deadwood and this is the world's second most productive gold mine - closed in the early 90's cause gold tanked and the government made the company cleanup the over 100 years of shitting on rapping the earth. Now that gold is up again it could be used but the equipment would be too expensive and the regulations... yeah - blame government.Friday, July 30, 2010

So if the cowboys and ranchers are bad guys for taking the Indians' land - and they are - the miners are worse.
ReplyDeleteMiners love the earth - in little debris piles!
Who needs to clean up? Its all metal and it'll rust and be okay...
Well, if you look at it that way it is a great geological find. Probably a dinosaur or two in there too.
