The Golden Bear mine west of
Telegraph Creek began the test
phase for firing up its 360-tonne-
per-day gold mill early this
month, and the company ex-
pects to start commercial gold
-production any day.

Bobbi Jo Gordon, treasurer
- for North American. Metals in
# Vancouver, said the mill is a
standard carbon type of extrac-
tor with the addition of a roaster
to refine the gold concentrate.
When production starts, the
shipped product will be taken
beyond the liquid concentrate
stage to reduce weight and save
on transportation costs, she
said,

Established reserves on the
Golden Bear’ find will keep the.
‘operation running for six years.

- Gordon said there has been no
exploration on the property for.
two years but-a program is plan-—
ned for 1990. There: are. three:
‘zones of. mineralization, only .

of intensive exploration to date:

Gordon said, ‘It really depends
on how everything performs.
The minus-fifty temperatures
don’t help.”

cepted the one and only bid filed
for the arena parking lot snow
removal contract. F. Beaudette
Contracting will provide the city
with the service for the next two
years at a cost of $70 per hour.

- Beaudette held the” previous
two-year contract at the same
hourly. rate. At council’s Nov.

27 meeting, when questioned by

alderman Mo Takhar as to why

public works crews don’t pro-

vide the service, city ad-
ministrator Bob Hallsor said it

- has been tried in the past and

public works wasn’t able to pro-
vide adequate service. He ex-
