    Chip Lansberry has been doing research on the mining districts: ie in 1848 the Dakota Territory/ Carter Co. districts went to the Lincoln Co. mining district in 1865, they had the first meeting on Beaver Creek, then to the Sweetwater District in 1868.

       Randy Hutchison volunteered to write up a plan for the reclamation at the Bridge Buster.

       We have dirt for the annual outing June 23-25, but unfortunately we can’t use any machinery to move this dirt until July 1st  which will be after our outing,so we will need volunteers for a bucket brigade, to move it to a trailer to haul to our outing site.
