Snowshoe, I looked into the hole way back in 1977 when it was still a happening thing. Okay, so perhaps they mismanaged what happened afterwards, but that doesn't mean mines are a bad thing. It's obviously popular: < For more than a decade, Butte has been perversely proud of its strange monument. Townsfolk, in fact, celebrate the acid lake, which, deceptively green and picturesque, sparkles on postcards. The Chamber of Commerce runs a trolley to the viewing stand and gift shop that it operates high over the waters. "Biggest tourist draw in southwest Montana," a chamber official crows. But even as visitors stream in, authorities must take elaborate steps to scare away waterfowl with loudspeakers, firecrackers and a boat. Such precautions weren't in place three years ago, when migrating Canadian snow geese had the misfortune to touch down on the waters for a drink. In the following days, officials counted 342 carcasses floating and washed ashore, their insides scoured with burns and sores.> They could sell "Butte Mineral Water". Carbonate it for added kick. "Cleans you right out! It's beaut!!" Such a large hole must be useful for something pretty good. Collecting water for a start! Mqurice
