Shatter Deserted Village After Year of Mine Shutdown
Fort Davis, Aug 15. A year after the Jat Shafter silver mine shut on twenty four hours notice, Shafter lies deserted. 300 residents left, water and lights cut, gardens abandoned, yet the American Metals Company keeps a water tank and hints at possible revival if silver prices rise. Night watchman Herbert Bryant, 73, recalls the town’s heyday and the few remaining workers, while a discovery of gold reportedly amid the site sparks cautious hope but not return.
