Did you see the eyes? And have you found the cement scale? Cars are often parked on top of it.
>Rainia, Jim
That was Rainia and Jim, introducing you to the Mine Company Office, the executive headquarters. Also, scrip was issued from here, a credit against future earnings which could only be spent here in Madrid. Josie and Henry have insights into this arrangement, which left many families in inescapable debt.
>office, scrip
At the end, we heard from Mary Huber – that’s Oscar Huber’s daughter – and her daughter Joanna, with a different perspective on the scrip system.
Please mount the stairs up to the boardwalk, just north from where you stand, to continue your tour.
