It's Shan-tee-wa- h, Archery ethics told here By Ed Cornia August marks the opening of the 1985 archery deer season, with archery elk opening a week later on August 24. In spite of recent advancements in archery technology, the bow is still considered a short range hunting device. Bill Wadswroth, president of 17 the International Bowhunters Education Foundation and a native of New Jersey, is probably one of the best bowhunters in the country. At a hunter education workshop in Seattle, Washington, last spring, Bill told me that in harvesting over 100 animals with a bow, he has yet to take a shot at over 28 yards and has failed to recover only one deer. Bill sets a standard that all bowhunters should aim at. Keep in mind the following responsibilities, and you too will be a safe, ethical bowhunter: 1. A bowhunter has a responsibility to practice! If youve waited until now to begin practicing for the upcoming hunt, youve waited too long! overcome some mental and physical blockages. Instead of ending up with happily-ever-afte- r, Mr. Miller wisely leaves the protagonists on the threshold of spend after a hit as your second hunt. Put a 100 percent effort into recovering all game. 3. A bowhunter has a responsibility to the sport. Archers must conduct themselves in a manner that is above criticism. Hunt legally and hunt ethically, and insist that others do the same! Report all hunting violations to the proper authorities (a wildlife conservation officer or county sheriff). Do everything in your power to keep the sport and its participants above reproach. s, mule skinners, mechanics. All for three dollars and fifty cents 10 hours a day.

Powerful pumps, with total capacity of more than 10,000 gallons a minute, would be put in place to deal with the underground flow that plagued Kennecott. Refrigeration units would be installed to cool the working areas. Large rubber equipment would replace hand-hel- d equipment used by the Kennecott miners, Mr Munyan said. Assuming, development, mine life would be in excess of 10 years, he said. Drilling has indicated mineral values of 33 million ounces of silver. Tintics origins date to 1869.

Notarianni, notes that Tintic gold production was equal to that of the Park City District and Second to Bingham Canyon, where it was a byproduct to copper production by Kennecott. By 1976 base metals lead, zinc, copper and gold and silver values on a historic basis totaled half a billion dollars based on the market at the time of production. There is a saying that old mines given technological and market improvements become new mines. And the Tintic District though a mere shell of what it was in the frenetic peak years of World War I and the 1920s, has nevertheless continued to invite sporadic episodes of scheming, dreaming and planning, speculation and investment. Kennecott and Sunshine are not the only major mining companies to have tried to breath life bach into the district.
