The mine had been abandoned for over 100 years when the lower shafts broke into the water table. Once they were drained out super-rich veins of silver were rediscovered. I was the one sent down to see what was there. The discovery was kept a secret, except for the few who knew.The industrialist went on a 14-year quest to uncover the mineral wealth by opening up a quarry. The township refused. They were never told of the silver there.He bided his time and meanwhile opened up a huge campground and vbenue for country-music stars. From 1974 to 1988 every country-music star in the country went there and entertained over 500,000 people. He figured that, in time, new supervisors would come and he would get his way. He never did.
