How can you explain to a hardrock miner who works just as hard or harder than a miner of another ore that the fruits of his labor cannot appreciate in value in accordance with the true demand for the valuable metal he produces? If this artificial control continues. the day will come when no ore. no matter how rich. can be profitably processed. and all mines in South Dakota and elsewhere will close with resulting economic disaster. Mr. Chairman. I have lived all my life in South Dakota. and I can well recall the dustbowl years of the thirties when many people were driven off their farms and even lost their farms. and when many of those people emigrated to the Black Hills of South Dakota. where they participated in the gold mining industry and made a living. Mr. Chairman.
