Martin has helped make Richmond one of the hot spots cropping up in erstwhile advertising backwaters from Portland, Ore., to Winston-Salem, N.C., and Minneapolis, Minn. Periodically, breakaway boutiques emerge from big-city agencies, get hot, then are reabsorbed when they start bagging big accounts. Now, the quest for an advertising edge has sent brands like ESPN and McDonald's scurrying way off Madison...

The glitch was that the peak is a scant 2.5 miles upstream from Yellowstone National Park. Environmental groups, warning that a megamine would poison the park's ecosystem, threatened massive lawsuits against Crown Butte, the company planning a round-the-clock extraction effort.
