...Project. From Denver the Cessna 210 heads south to New Mexico, then north along the spine of the Rockies above ulcerated | earth where the land has bled money -- from gold at Victor near Pikes Peak, and at Battle Mountain near San Luis, Colorado; and from molybdenum at Questa in northern New Mexico and at the vast Amax mine near Leadville. The hawk's-eye view shows the wreckage of mountains, dead land that will not revegetate, soured rivers, towns left to wither when mineral prices dropped and distant corporate directors cut their losses...
Crown Butte claims to have risked about $30 million so far in exploration and environmental cleanup. What it would gain is clear; about half of the $1 billion in ore is thought to be recoverable.

There is no large population of unemployed miners in the area, which is getting along fairly well from tourism. Peter Aengst...

But their most surreal and spectacular foray was into Laguna Beach. A pristine, smog-free enclave bordered by cliffs and water, the 24,800- resident paradise for surfers, artists and environmentalists, is, along with the adjacent community of Emerald Bay, home to some of the richer people on the Pacific...
