"Lucky Friday miners last year made something on the order of $30,000 in silver price-indexed incentives and bonuses, on top of their hourly wages and contracts. It's nice to see the parking lots at the Lucky Friday and the Galena full, and parked-up with new SUVs. It's been 25 years since this place had a break."

Great article, Tom. I-90 goes thru the Silver Valley, so heading west from here I do not have much choice but to pass thru. It is nice to see them getting a break! Long history of ups and downs, union strife, the bull-pen, patrolled by the Buffalo Soldiers of the US Cavalry, leading to race problems later, environmental problems, exacerbated by EPA errors etc. etc.
