 ELGIN — A high-level Department of Agriculture official capped a day of public meetings and a tour of the proposed Rosemont mine site Saturday by saying the agency will look hard at whether the U.S. Forest Service has the authority to reject a mine.

The Forest Service is a USDA agency, and Deputy Undersecretary for Natural Resources and the Environment Jay Jensen heard community testimony in Elgin and Green Valley in response to an invitation to come to the area from Democratic Reps. Gabrielle Giffords and Raul Grijalva.
