Hello!
In both "The Big Kerplop" and one of the stories in the third book in
the series of four, Charlie mentions an old mine, and that a cave on
the property is in reality a mine there for zinc. But, was it ever
disclosed what caused the mine to cease business?
For example, I'm into electronics and computers, and so forth, I got
started with batteries and lights and things like that. Those
batteries were carbon-zinc based. I'd have thought that during the
time period that the series takes place in, such a metal would have
been in great demand for primary cells.
