The flag is red with a white-bordered black saltire, and the municipal
coat of arms on a white disk overall. The coat of arms depicts two picks (presumably
symbolizing mining), a cow's head (for cattle ranching), what I take to be a
cross-section of a steel I-beam but may be a St. Anthony's cross, and a
chevron charged with nine white roundels.
