Questa is where that mine is. Can’t remember what kind of mine.
Molly or mollybnium, spelling is incorrect, it’s added to aluminum to strengthen it, the tailings from the mine destroyed the red river which ran through town for years, one of the best brown trout fisheries in the west with spawning trout coming up out of the rio grande, huge fish in small stream only 20 yards wide at its widest.
