New Almaden Quicksilver Mines

While agriculture was big business in the Valley of Heart's Delight - it was mining that brought the first economic boom to the valley.
Join KLIV's Kris Rowberry as he discovers the dirty secrets of mining for mercury - and how we're still feeling the effects of the mine over a century after being opened.
Hear the latest episodes of "the Valley that Was" only on 1590 KLIV - Silicon Valley's News Station!

I LOVE THIS WHOLE SERIES! If you want to do a piece on the old South Pacific Coast railroad and its mile-long tunnels in the Santa Cruz Mtns, I'd be happy to help...
