Henderson Mountain already bore the scars and legacy of historic, abandoned hardrock mining. Had the New World Mine moved forward, this area, which today is home to grizzlies, moose, wolverines, elk, bighorn sheep and has streams feeding some of Greater Yellowstone's fisheries, would have been turned into an industrial zone with a massive tailings pit of toxic detritus. Instead, it's been cleaned up as a result of the mining fight. Photo courtesy US Forest Service
