an ager forthe for the south hecla mining COra company pany operating at alta utah who was down fron from the mine a few days it is learned that ore shipments have been greatly retarded of late because of labor shortage and a in transportation facilities especially the latter as at the time he spoke not a carload of ore had been moved from wasatch Wasat cl over the wasatch branch of the D R Q G railroad for a period of twelve days at wasatch the company had between and tons of ore loaded on cars wagons and platforms ready for transportation to the valley smelters shelters sm elters much of this ore will have to be re handled which will necessitate additional dit ional expense the main difficulty with the railroad is poor track and a wrecked trainload of ore is of frequent occurrence this handicap is working a great hardship on the south hecla and other alta producers and the situation is bad when one considers the fact that winter is coming on OB when transportation in the canyon will vill be I 1 even more difficult at the south hecla every available space is filled with ore ready for shipment the mine mr watson states is looking better than ever before in its history |
