JFF7, you are right, the best thing to come out of the downturn is we should have our pick of top notch miners, who should be knocking on our door. No more begging the locals to show up for a high wage. Hugh's attempt to give back to the community is noble, give those that want an education and a chance to work the opportunity. Let them learn beside those that can teach them a work ethic, send the others home. Get the gold out of the ground.
