Don Dickey's Mining Stories ~ Don came to the Alleghany Mining District as a boy with his mother in 1939. She was one of the few female mine owners and operators. Wonderfully spoken, these stories span over 70 years in the Alleghany Mining District, told by a man who knew gold mining as few have. Drawings by local cartoonist RL Crabb
