FILE - In this June 8, 2007 file photo, old ore carts from one of Silver City, Idaho's mines are on one of the town's dirt street corners. State officials have approved a rewrite of Idaho's 50-year-old mining law. Republican Gov. Brad Little and other members of the Idaho Land Board voted Tuesday, July 16, 2019, to adopt rules intended to give mining companies the financial leeway to mine but also avoid leaving Idaho taxpayers paying for clean-up costs if a mining company goes bankrupt.
