General Note
Accompanying note: "Mountains grow taller and the pitted valleys deeper as International's giant dragline removes 3,000 tons of phosphate concentrate a day from the graveyard of prehistoric animals--immigrants to Florida 60 million years ago before the glacier covered the land. The growing mounds of useless topsoil resemble the Rockies in miniature. Water spilled from uncovered springs spreads out, resembling the Mississippi's muddy spread."
