My brother, David (in Indiana) sent me this link regarding the town of Battle Mountain, about 60 miles from here. The link is below. I felt the NY Times did a pretty nice job on the article and explaining the boom/bust cycle for gold mining. At least it didn't denigrate the mining industry, as the January issue of National Geographic did.

What do YOU think of both the article's tone and Battle Mountain?
