:49:01
that Newhouse had built
to service the mine...
:49:05
blasted through an opening...
:49:07
and blew the water clear across
the river to the other side.
:49:14
For three days, water blasted out
ofthat mountain-
:49:18
timber, tracks, loose rocks,
half-ton ore cars...
:49:23
flying through the air
like theywere toys.
:49:28
You know, we think
we can wound this planet.
:49:33
We thinkwe can cut costs
and stick the money in our pockets...
:49:37
and just walk awaywith it.
:49:40
But someday the bill comes due.
:49:45
This oreyou're looking at...
:49:47
assays out at about
an ounce and a halfa ton...
:49:54
which can be
worth yourwhile...
:49:57
depending on how much it costs you
to get it out ofthe ground.
:50:01
You gotta knock it down
with dynamite...
:50:03
throw it on one
ofthose carts up there...
:50:06
and then upstairs,
run it through all the crushers...
:50:10
and chemicals separate out
the valuable stufffrom the tailings.
:50:14
Yeah. Now, ifyou want to move up ahead
to under that stope...
:50:19
and look offto the left...
:50:21
you'll see what every miner
was hoping for-
:50:24
a vein of almost pure
yellow stuff.
:50:27
You can all fit in.
I'll join you in a minute.
:50:40
Soyou were a miner?.
:50:47
Mining engineer...
:50:49
until I went to work for the feds.
:50:52
Got interested
in how to do the job...
:50:54
better and safer.
:50:57
That was under Carter.
He put some teeth in the rules.
