Show 5 Thursday, September 6, 1979 Page 10 Norand. a Starts Hirin Noranda Mining Co. will start hiring employees this week for development work iB preparation for the reopening re-opening of the Ontario Mine. That word came from Joe Rutherford, Ontario Mine project supervisor, who said the company already has received some 275 work applications ap-plications with more arriving daily from residents resi-dents in Park City, Heber, Kamas and other nearby towns. The supervisor said 18 people will be hired this week to deepen the Ontario shaft 260 feet and otherwise prepare the mine for the excavation ex-cavation of minerals. Additional Ad-ditional miners will be hired in the future. Potential flooding problems in the mine, expected to be compounded if the Jor-danelle Jor-danelle dam is built at its currently planned site, were passed off by Rutherford as being "solvable." Rutherford said Noranda will be able to turn a profit where Park City Ventures failed bacause of changes in the metal market and because of the Canadian firm's operating efficiency. The Ontario mine will produce lead, zinc and silver all of which have risen in value since the Ventures Ven-tures operation. Silver, in particular, has skyrocketed in price, fetching $10 more an ounce than just one year ago. Though silver will be the primary ore taken out of Ontario, Rutherford said the mining of lead and zinc are necessary to make the operation profitable. Noranda Noran-da Co. tests have put total proven reserves of the three metals in Ontario at a million and a half tons and potential reserves are estimated at seven or eight million tons. Noranda, one of the leading underground mining companies in North America, plans to use- all new equipment in the Ontario On-tario mine to make operations more efficient. Miners will be equipped with new drills, drill wagons and load-haul-dumpers (LHD) electrically operated, low-profile low-profile front loaders that will be used to remove ore from working stopes (rooms hollowed out underground by the digging of ore). The LHDs represent one part of the mechanized ore transporting system which will require fewer miners to man than the previous system used by Ventures. As a result, the total Noranda work force will eventually number 280, compared with the 350-man crew used by Ventures. Production projections by the Canadian mining com pany call for 440-ton-a-day milling by the end of spring and a full 750-ton operation within two years. 70 Daly Avenue 5 H 3.

The furious summer construction con-struction season has brought more than new buildings to Park City. It's brought . a . wave of construction site vandalism. Park City Police Chief Mike Crowley said Tuesday nearly $20,000 worth of damages have been reported at building build-ing sites in the past six months. Recently, there has been a rash of broken windows caused by a pellet gun. The latest incident occurred last weekend when thousands thous-ands of dollars in damage was done to equipment belonging to Enoch Smith. Crowley said specific dollar . values have not been estimated, estim-ated, but he noted that many vehicles were tampered with. Rear view mirrors, windshields and lights were broken. "Anybody who would do a senseless thing like that doesn't need 10 days in the Coalville jail, he needs 90 days in a psycho ward," Crowley said. "That type of action is useless, senseless... and sick."- Crowley commented that construction sites are not the only targets. A few months ago, vandals slashed the tires of 11 cars on Woodside Avenue, and other cars had paint scratched. "One of the biggest contrib- 4 new homes nearing completion in Prospector Village and Prospector Park subdivisions... 3 & 4 bedrooms 2 & 22 baths 1500 to 1900 square feet $91,900 to $1 14,900 These homes are competitively priced and located in a fast appreciating, growing community FOR PARTICULARS 1030 Park Avenue - 649-9891 IS V 1 w i utors to vandalism is that the kids from 14 to 19 are bored," Crowley remarked. "There's not enough money spent on things to do for those kids. Softball and private clubs cater to the over-21 crowd, while Little League caters to the younger kids. Maybe what we need is for someone to come in here and start a teen club, instead of another restaurant. Or maybe Pony Leagues for these kids in that middle age bracket. There's a helluva lot of juvenile crime in Park City that we shouldn't have. There's nothing more destructive des-tructive than a bored kid." The police chief commented that vandalism is often accompanied by theft, but stolen articles are recovered more quickly than tracking down a vandal. "Vandalism is so tough," Crowley said, shaking his head. "We need some help. If anybody sees anyone with a firearm or hanging around a place they shouldn't be, please call us. It's got to stop, and the only way it's going to is by us catching them in the act." Small older home with additional building lots to go with the property. Trade must be effected.
