The Drive
New Busses R bring N miners to Yet ! where they are coming from is unknown.. i hav seen 5 new greyhound transporters arriving into the village of yet.. presumably this is for the 7on/7off miners.. capitol city cab from reno is also exiting town.. thats an expensive personal ride.. again unknown where the hak originates..
as to miners - there are by my best guesstimate around 300 in the various mines in operation.. hudbay has a cru and quanteras (LEO) is around doing something.. the first entry into the new industrial park is filled w service truks. looking again best guess around 50 mine related truks - buffalos - oilers - fuel/etc.
Hudbay has built a new office on 95 as U exit town.. afew blocks for the cutt to mason and is not located in the industrial park.. its apperanvce is simple office space and no room for service equipment. looks like a doctors office..
as to the miners and where they are staying if they are coming from salt lake - elko - tonopah; i would suspect they hav local housing.. the rides are several hours for a daily commute.. --> the local motels are not full.. there is a new RV Park at golden gate, but not enuff caravans to account for the bussing. also since this is barrik country and geotemps personell.. anything w an alcohol or dopie violation is an automatic ban from working on any barrik or nevada gold affiliated operations.
IMHO there is no happy hour downtown or the miners stopping in for a snak.. this suggest housing w cooking facilities - such s the round mountain operation/camp in tonopah.. again don't know...
lets see what the next news release ginns up.. we may get some numbres on copper shipped to reno and the streamer/royalty trust - trippin flagg.. and yes i hav a desire to see who actually owns that operation - how long they hav been in buizz..
otw - it would B nice to know - but better to guess on the abyss
