Potosi's "silver"
Another Minor's memory. A visit to the Austin-Milam-Lucas Store/House on Jefferson Street brought me face-to-face with some memorabilia from mining days gone by. Such interesting history and artifacts. I am far from being an expert on how barite (tiff) was mined, but a good look at this display began to give me quite an appreciation for what these early folks went through to make a living in the Potosi area. Though original hopes were that silver was the prevalent mineral here, tiff became the focus - and the rest is history! :)

"Every song that I write comes from my own personal experience. i believe the role of an artist is to interpret reality through a system of beliefs and a long-term seeking of truth, in your own life and in the world at large." Dan Folgelberg
