All services areowned and' operated by the Company. Electricity and .steam heating is generated and furn- iahed from the - Mine's plants.. The grocery store, butcher Shop,, poolroom; bowling alley and soda fountain are all operated by the Company. -Prr-"the-sunnetey_;far^_r he is a ' golf course and tennis courts, men's and ladies' softball teams, and an idegl bathing beach made. .from the rock sludge, piped froin the mill after the nroeess;•or removing the gold has been completed. - In the winter there's a toboggan slide, open air skating, and hockey arena, , and a .closed in curling rifik. These are some of the things that tend to make' life pleasant on this "far away" island. Our ;host works in the mill where the ore from the mine • is . processed and Thus we had the ,privilege of be= ing shown through the mill and the, entire process explained in detail, but more interesting' still, • we were fort- unate in having Bill - arrange for a trip underground into the mine, with a guide who did his best to give us a general, idea of mining and an ex- planation of the operations we .wat- nessed. The shaft of the Siscoe Mine has been sunk to somewhat over 2400 feet, but at this level drilling has not yet, commenced. Togged out in rubber boots, . coat, helmet and lamp we de- scended to the 1850 foot level. At each depth of- from 125 to 175 feet there is'a level. .One steps out of the cage and proceedsalong a cross cut, which is simply a passage way cut, through the rock. It is blasted out to allow sufficient head room and ,to a width, if we recollected correctly, of possibly six feet. At intervals a- long • this •cross" cut; other tunnelsrun out at various angles. - These are known as drifts, and as they imply. drift off to follow the vein. Froin these drifts, Stopes• either descend or ascend sharply. Along one of ,these. drifts • we wit nessed a mucking -Machine at work. This 'power .operated : shovel ,scooped up the blasted rock and loaded it into hand cars, which are run along a min- iature ' railway track and dumped down an ore shoot, to then be hoisted up the shaft in two ton skips. These skips are located just above the pass- enger cage, which has accomodation for ten men. Too see drilling operations carried out we •ascended to the 1350 level, where we proceeded along the cross cut and drifts to 'a stope. Here we clanimered down rough ladders into a "hole in the ground" forty feet be - tow. , Conversation in the stope was drowned Out by the deafening -roar of the power drills as nine foot hole" were sunk into the rock on either side - of - a wide quartz vein. These drill holes are then packed with dyn- amite charges to blast loose probably 25 tons of gold containing ruck. This particular vein contained high-grade, as it is termed, :which is the best grade of ore, this particular vein hav- ing gold deposits actually visible in While in this .stope a blast was set off on the level above and as d+e eIammered back up the ladders to :the drift, the smoke 'eras chokingly thick ae that the ',ray of the helmet lamp scarcely •penetrated• it, as'we el .a. heels aloe tthe stunibled blindl g e Y of our guide. The ore is raised to the surface, to the crushing mill, where first it passes along a belt as pickers sort out arid discard tbe waste rock which is readilat apparent to the, experienced: eye, The Bore of value is crushed and .• t' the rate of 'about 600 tons 'a day is carried by an I aeric] tramway to the mill bins several hundred yards away.
