RE: Conway rollon (dewatering)
RE: Conway rollon (dewatering)Well you worked Bellettere at the 750 foot level and I take it you didn't need a snorkel. Mines in that area are not too difficult to dewater (these days) and it is higher elevation Canadian Shield and there are many operating mines there as well as a number of directions to go. Conditions hopefully have improved for the miners since your days. If it was built and dewatered once it can be again.
"I am probably one of the few individuals who worked in this mine that is still alive. I worked the mine between 57 and 59. Everytime I here Vien # 12 my back hurts. Lived in a 600 square foot shack on the shores of Mud Lake with 8 other people. . I carved my initials on a latter at 750 level. MD 1959.
Can't really comment on dewatering issues but I know one thing for sure. There was definitely gold in that hell hole."
