BEE FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT MARVEL TRAVEL OR CP AIR Erickson Creek Column —T» Erickson tried its hand at surface mining this summer and the results have been very success- ful. A 235 Cat backhoe has been operating on the top of Table Mountain and to date 30,000 tons of ore have been mined. ; The surface mining-has been taking place on the legendary Vollaug Vein which has lured so many prospectors to Table Mountain. A four man crew has achieved excellent prod- uctivity. Ron Tominaga has been the backhoe operator and he is presently “breaking in” Mike Botel on the machine. Richard “Timber” Mercier and Bruce Simpson are also working on the . project. According to Mine Manager Al Beaton the operation will carry on into late fall “until the gods of winter drive us off the mountain”! _ Congratulations to several members of our senior staff who were promoted recently in a re-structuring of our top on-site positions. Tom McGrail is now Production Superinten- _dent; Frank Kollar is Mine Foreman; Dennis Best is Surfacé Foreman; and Kieran Loughran is Mill Foreman. Erickson achieved a record production through the mill in July with over 9000 tons of ore milled. In over five years of operation mill production has increased from 100 tons per day to 300 t.p.d. Congratulations to Mill Superintendent Jasman Yee and the entire mill crew. Meanwhile around camp the hammers have been flying. Tom Williams has been seen doing a balancing act on the peaked roof of his new carport. (with all those new vehicles he has to have some place to put them!) Dennis Best, Ray Morrissey and Ken Anderson have also been busily adding onto their trailers.

Welcome to Bob, RoseMary, Kerry and Rebecca Best; Lorraine, James, Catharine Lan- teigne and AnneMarie Zollot; and welcome back to Sharon, Aaron, Chris, Lorne and Courtnay Anderson and to Adelfa, Gail and Kelly Yee. Congratulations and Good Luck to Adelfa on her partnership in the Final Touch Ladies Wear. She’s having lots of fun with her new shop and is endeavouring to get all of the ladies out of their jeans and into some more feminine attire! We lost several good friends to points north and south this summer. Good Bye and Good ,Luck to Jim, Carmen, Sam and Shelley Bond-- esen, John, Bev and Miscal Nesgaard, Cary Mof-- fat and Kato Schneeberger, and Candice, Stuart, Cody and Ashley Macalister who have all moved to Whitehorse and are now involved in Erickson’s Skookum property. Good Bye also to Charlie, Lynda, Dease, Fyal and Liam Devine who have moved to Dease Lake. The Devines are busy working on their farm loc- ated on the Telegraph Road. Good Luck to them in their new adventure. The Black and Blue Bike Brigade is at it again! This time Lorraine Lanteigne hit the dirt! Taking lessons from Lois, AnnaMarie and Carole, Lor- aine? The local wildlife had the camp buzzing this summer! For the first time since [ve been at Erickson (six summers) a grizzly bear was spotted near camp. Frank Kollar spied the bear near. Mystery Lake. Bears aren’t known for their curiosity but all the ore trucks on that road must have made that bear wonder what was happening to his (once) quiet. corner of the world. Caro! Whiteside and Mike Caton also have a pretty good bear tale to tell. They were relax- ing in lawn chairs outside of their cabin when a grizzly bear nonchalantly walked right past them! Evidently he didn’t want to leave either - and poked his head into the dog house and their back, window. Only after Mike and Carol made a great deal of noise, banging pans and screaming, did the bear wander away! Here’s a letter Fletcher Day received * na client.

Fletcher runs a guiding operation out of Telegraph Creek. Dear Fletcher, In reply to your request to send a check, | wish to inform you that the present condition of my bank account makes it almost impossible. My shattered financial condition is due to laws, State laws, County laws, mother-in-laws, brother-in-laws, sister-in-laws and outlaws. Through these laws I am compelled to have a business tax, amusement tax, head tax, school tax, gas tax, light tax, water tax, sales tax, liquor tax, income tax, food tax, furniture tax, and -excise tax. I am required to get a business license, car license, operator’s license, truck license, not to mention a marriage license and dog license. I am also required to contribute to every society and organization which the genius of man is capable of bringing to life: to woman’s relief, the unemployed relief, and the gold digger’s relief. Also to every hospital and charitable institution in the city, including the Salvation Army, Community Chest, Red cross, Purple Cross, White Cross, Blue Cross, Double Cross, Boy Scouts, Girls Scouts, Cub Scouts, YMCA, YWCA as well as Way Stations for Wayward Girls and Boys Ranch and Boys’ Town. For my own safety I am required to carry health insurance, life insurance, fire insurance, tornado insurance, unemployment compensation insurance, and old age insurance. My business is so governed that it is no easy matter to find out who owns it. I am expected, inspected, suspected, disrespected, rejected, de- jected, examined, re-examined, informed, re- quired, summoned, fined, commanded and compelled, until I provide an inexhaustible supply of money for every known need, desire, or hope of the human race. Simply because I refuse to donate to some- thing or other, I am boycotted, talked about, lied about, held up, held down, and robbed until I am almost ruined. I can tell you honestly that except for a miracle that happened, I could not have. enclosed this check. The wolf that comes to many doors nowadays just had pups in my kitchen. I sold | them and here is the money! ~~ SPARE RIBS
