Vera Estrada quote
“The mill used to dispose of the slang into, what we called, the black waters… and the slag would actually light up all of Salt Creek. There were no indoor bathrooms. They had outhouses. and in the evening, everyone would wait for the slag to be thrown and you could see the neighbors scurrying, running to the outhouse before the light of the slag went out.”
