Here’s a compilation of some excerpts from the testimony of local historian and publisher Dave Comstock at the April 22nd Planning Commission meeting.

Dave is arguing against the application of Blue Lead Mine ((Pronounced “blue leed … “))  for the “vested right to mine.” (See background on this issue in my previous set of posts here).

When Dave refers to “sniping” in these excerpts, he is using a synonym for “prospecting.”
