439 claims-I find that hard to believe!
The mountains and valleys will be over run with prospectors, drillers, equipment and camps.
I can hardly wait for the results, as every claim has to be worked, and proof provided to the government-or it is lost.
And that's no hoax!

Another Bre-X? Jest wunderin'.

In reference to the girls--imagine 13 years of age-and absolutely NO parental control.
Barely made it to being teen agers, and already uncontrollable.
My, something to be very proud of-but how many parents are experiencing the same problems.
One thing that has to stop is all these so called "sleep overs." Kids should be in their own beds, at home, to sleep.
People should stop taking in kids that are having problems at home and allowing them to stay. Why are they not phoning the parents, and asking them how they feel about them harboring their teen because she, or he, does not want to abide by rules at home. Ask if there is a problem, and if there is any way they can help. Don't believe every lie the teen ager will be prone to tell to gain sympathy. Seek out the truth, and send the kid back home if it is just a lark for the kid to try to punish her parents simply because they are insisting on obedience.
Stop harboring other peoples kids! If there is really a problem they can call 911, and possibly receive professional help, and the parents can also.
Kids roaming the streets at 2 and 3 in the morning are certainly apt to get into real trouble. Maybe it is time for towns and cities to initiate curfews. Get them off the streets and back home.
I bet there are thousands of parents who just wish there was an answer when they are dealing with an uncontrollable teenager.
Sure would not have happened in my day!
Maybe that is a blessing.
