"I went to work at Snow Lake. I made $4,000 in one year. Your grandfather, he worked in outfitting and made $3,000 in one day. One week he could make $12,000, he made lots of money. He fished and we helped him out. I really had to think this over, when I worked in the mine for 1 year, I only made $4,000 and my dad was making $12,000 in one week! He would go sturgeon fishing, among other things, and outfitting. I just made up my mind to come home. There was no caparison in the money you make. Think about it, what would you do; one year compared to one day making more money." |
