I remember her website stated that each trommel load potentially netted 2 ounces of that shiny yellow metal, netting them a cool $1200/ounce. heheh, you asking me? Hell, I threw a shovel in my back yard, and sure enough I found gold. {and old toy matchbox car painted gold} I know potentially that ever yard of rock removed, that 3 ounces could be present or more. Point is, and in all likelihood, Bre-x held more gold in their cores then either my lot or OLE and her friends Roy trommel load. Hutch. PS: www.ole49.com is coming soon. Point is, in a fantasy, anything is possible.

The "web" gets taxed, the dotcoms die on Wall Street then what? Senators predict Web sales will be taxed That measure would level playing field between retailers, e-commerce, they say 12/10/99 By Alan Goldstein / The Dallas Morning News Internet-based retailers will eventually have to charge sales taxes to customers, just as brick-and-mortar stores do, to level the playing field between the different types of businesses, according to Texas' two U.S. senators. "I personally believe in the end that we will have sales taxes just as you have in a store," said Sen. Phil Gramm, speaking with reporters Thursday in Dallas. "I think you would collect the taxes when the product is shipped." The collection of sales taxes would allow Main Street businesses, particularly in small towns, to compete against their cyberspace rivals, said Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison. Without charging taxes, she said, Web retailers effectively offer customers a special discount.(cont) dallasnews.com
