At the top of a peak in an arid environment?
Little to no use for those out there I would think.
Shafter silver mine water discharge concerns neighbors
Shafter silver mine water discharge concerns neighbors

PRESIDIO COUNTY – Cibolo Creek Ranch owner John B. Poindexter fired the first shot Wednesday in what may become a new water war in Presidio County.
Speaking at a Presidio County Underground Water Conservation District meeting in Marfa, Poindexter voiced concern at the Rio Grande Mining Company’s discharge of water from its well.
He told water conservation board members that, speaking on behalf of a group of concerned landowners in the vicinity of the Shafter silver mine, “We are highly concerned by the mine administration’s announced plan to void approximately one million gallons of water per day into a dry arroyo. This is an infamous proposal in an arid region like ours.”

The Cibolo Creek ranch resort is located near Shafter and the mine.

It appears the other guests (beyond Foster & Poindexter) were not even interviewed.
"Law enforcement officials told The Post they didn't know of the International Order of St. Hubertus or its connection to Poindexter or any of the guests at the ranch the weekend Scalia died."
