Nevada Mining Town Worried about New Mining

The towns of Virginia City and Silver City, just east of Carson City, were built on mining.  But, now that mining is coming back there are some townsfolk who are concerned.  We talk with Comstock Mining about their proposed plans for an open pit mine as well as one of the residents who is part of an association fighting to keep the mine closed.
