Loads of (closed) gold mines near Elko NV: A Battle Brewing in the Wild West -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By Sean Paige paige@insightmag.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Elko, Nev., may be but a blip on the radar screen of most Americans, but to many Westerners the town has become a symbol of resistance to growing government intrusion. Small and rustic Elko, Nev., may be little more than a dot in a road atlas to most Americans. But look more closely, walk down its streets and talk to its rough and rebellious citizens, and this dot becomes a line ? a line in the sand, by some accounts, against the encroaching authority of the U.S. government. For many Westerners, fed up with what they see as the federal government?s high-handed ways, Elko is becoming both a mecca and a battle cry, earning growing fame as a stubborn little town that is standing up to Uncle Sam. Who wins that test of wills is being closely watched in those parts of the West where the Sagebrush Rebellion seems forever at flash point and wherever else in the nation people are bucking under Washington?s big saddle. Escalating tensions here ? highlighted by last fall?s resignation of Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest Supervisor Gloria Flora, citing the potential for violence against herself and Forest Service personnel by alleged Nevada ?lunatics? ? also have caught the worried attention of Washington. The situation is concerning to the Clinton White House, which watches for signs that Elko?s recalcitrance might unite opposition to the 11th-hour environmental agenda it is ramming through by executive order.
