A collection of Paul M. Jones' newspaper columns about life in the now-vanished town of Santa Rita, New Mexico. The town was literally moved — physically relocated — to make way for the expanding Santa Rita (Chino) open-pit copper mine. Jones captures the daily life, community events, and characters of a company mining town that no longer exists above ground.
