Show DOING NECESSARY WORK IN REPAIRS While the roads from the Alta-Cotton-woods are in bad shape for ore hauling, the management of Columbus-Rexall Is taking advantage of the situation to straighten up things in the mine, do some dead work and be In a position to maintain main-tain a big and steady production when hauling conditions are more favorable. No ore Iras been brought down from Rexall this week, and it is probable none will be hauled for several days. While the roads in the canyon are passable, they are in such a condition between Maxfieid and Sandy as to make a transfer trans-fer from sleds to wagons necessary. During the thirty days following the severe storm in January, Rexall shipped twenty-six cars of ore, the cars averaging averag-ing approximately sixty tons each. So far, the ore taken from Rexall has been that removed in the course of development develop-ment work chiefly. The forced production produc-tion with limited facilities since the first of the year has made it advisable to ease up slightly while the roads are bad to straighten things around in the mine. |
