Mining Corporations Abandon Legacy at Richest Hill on Earth Butte, America has never been able to add value to the raw materials that made it famous as the Richest Hill on Earth. Rather, the surplus value of Butte's labor was exported to banksters in New York City.

I took photographs of Mark Ross scatterning the ashes of Joe Hill: https://take-note.com/[…]/view and https://take-note.com/[…]/view.
