When he was just 11 years old, Harry followed his father hundreds of feet underground into the mines below Searchlight, Nev., where he would pan for gold and keep his dad company as the older man pounded through nearly impenetrable rock. He spent his childhood one cave-in or errant blasting cap away from becoming a fatality of those mines....

A real Horatio Alger story except it left out the part where he grew up and learned to steal from the public trough.

Commie Tommy is still here.

An 11 year old in a mine? Really Tom? My grandfather was a coal miner. My dad never met him, since he was killed 2 weeks before my dad was born..

Worried about a cave in with nearly impenetrable rock?

"Tom Daschle: Remembering a man who wouldn't stay down"

In a similar vein: "Taco Bell: Remembering a Taco (El Centro, CA 1974) that wouldn't stay down"...
