The big news this month in the Mine is the comple-
tion and successful operation of the new tramline. The
tramline has been operating on day shift only for the
past week using a temporary feeding bin at the top and a
temporary discharge conveyor at the bottom. By the
second week in September, the permanent conveyor assembly
will be completed in the mine and the new primary concen-
tration plant by the mill will be ready to go.

Arrow Transfer has been assembling the new P & H
1900 Shovel on the peak for the past several weeks. This
shovel should be in operation by mid-September also.

The new 1900 will displace the P § H 1400 Shovel now
being utilized on peak waste. The 1400 shovel will be
moved down on ore and pit waste. '

As most residents of the townsite are aware, there
have been a few big blasts in recent weeks. The blasts
that are most noticable in the townsite are those from
the south peak. These blasts can easily be seen from
the townsite although they are quite a distance away.

Mine tours are now being scheduled for Wednesday
afternoons. If anyone is interested in a tour of the
mine, contact Mr. Ed Hanley at the Personnel Office.
