golden8, You can't even read. You just said "Operations at the deer trail mine ceased in 1981 due to lack of mill and smelter reciepts." The Unico link says "All such mining operations were ceased in 1981 due to lack of mill and smelter recipients." That says recipients NOT receipts as you think. Your post #5075 says "They walked away due to low metal prices." This is NOT the case golden8 -- they just could NOT find anyone to take this rock. Again golden8, look in a mirror when you say "You really dont know what your posting about."
