Shortage Opens Metal Mines To Young Prospects
The metal mining and smelting industry offers opportunity as war time shortages create demand for workers. Former servicemen find mining a strong field, with mechanization reducing hard labor. Beginners start as muckers, then climb to machine operators, foremen, or shift bosses. Many leaders began as muckers, with paths to mechanics, contractors, or independent leases. The current metal shortage invites enterprising prospects to seek new mines tomorrow.
