More on mining

To the editor:
I read Mr. Craft’s letter on Aug. 20.  It was in response to my letter on July 30, “A boost to U.S. mining.”  He claimed that my examples in the letter shade the truth.

Still looking for answers

To the editor:
I read Mr. Kipp’s letter in The County [July 16]. Another disappointment. Instead of offering solid information about anything, he once again filled his script mostly with rhetoric.
