They chiseled trails out of stubborn rock, discovered rich copper deposits below the rim, erected lodges on the rim, and advocated rail connections to the brink of the Grand Canyon to promote its tourism and mining potential.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMonte Bridgestone\u003c\/strong\u003e - rugged, quiet, and trapped in a loveless marriage; his mining skills are no help in consoling a lonely wife.
