Nothing Better to Do!

Nothing Better to do - Than Throw Rocks!!

This is not one you will see very often, this comes from Summitville, it's silver in its original form. My mother's second cousin or double cousin, or something like that, owned Summitville, started mining it for gold, but ran into silver. His name was Philip Bingle.

My dad worked at Summitville, probably in about 1925 - give or take. He worked with dynamite and said he sure found out what a dynamite headache was!

Summitville is one of the Colorado's "SuperFund" cleanup sites. That truly is a mountain that was raped.
