Went out slumming so we wound up in Leadville.  Not as much snow as I expected.  I kicked around in some tailings and picked up some samples that greenhorns like me would believe contained gold.  They look cool, anyway.

    I don't think so Seger.  I think it's a 'Pyrite inclusion' or whatever.  I could sell some shares in that mine based on that sample to the tenderfoots from the flatlands, though.

    I Love the town of Leadville
