A rich vein of ore has recently been discovered in the Olympic National Monument, leading to an effort to convert the area into a regular forest reserve, which would allow prospectors to mine the vein–something they are currently prohibited from doing. Theodore Roosevelt reserved the area while president, but President William H. Taft supports the effort to allow mining. The area in Canada nearest to Washington is home to some very productive mines.
