Synopsis
Excerpt from The Human Side of Mining Engineering: An Address
On the day on which we were conducted along a mile or more of the outcropping ore and while the other members of the party were busy collecting from the ore. The hanging wall and footwall, I sat for a brief space apart by myself and studied over the Arctic expanse of stunted trees, moraines, swamps 'dlltl lakes. But continually my thoughts would come back to those five thousand people, men, women and children, all drawing their support from the mine. There they were, placed right in the hand of the General Manager, and his opportunity as well as his responsibility for more than food and clothing were very great. There was a little, organized state in miniature, and much more than Swedish kroner in dividends was involved in the way their lives were directed.
