Description

Stacie Beeson, a weighing sampler for Newmont Mining Corp., weighs and crushes samples of rock from from Newmont's Carlin/Gold Quarry, in Eureka County, Nevada, near Elko, Monday, May 22, 2006. Elko, Nevada, has a new Home Depot store. Its Wal-Mart doubled in size in the last year, and a 100-acre truck and rail complex is taking shape east of town. There's a reason for all the activity in Elko, a community of 19,000 that became a transportation center for the mining industry back in 1868. Newmont Mining Corp., the world's biggest gold producer, is investing $1 billion in northern Nevada, and is recruiting miners and engineers from as far away as Alaska, Canada and Mexico.
