The machines must be taken apart to be transported under- ground and then put back togeth- er. This is done in an under- ground shop supervised by Al Menard. These men who also maintain the machines, can put together a 6 yard loader in about a week. The machines are also washed down and checked regu- ONTARIO GOVERNMENT TENDER larly, After the ore is brought above ground it will go through the milling process. The rock is con- veyed to the mill where it will be crushed into a fine powder. The crushed rock then goes through a separation process called floatation where water and chemicals are added in. The copper concentrate and zinc concentrate are both separat- ed and put into tanks. From the tanks, each concentrate will go through a machine to remove the water leaving the concentrate with about 6 to 7% moisture. Each concentrate is conveyed to a pile where C.P. contractors will transport it to the Schreiber transfer site. The milling process is moni- tored through every step by employees using state of the art technology. Approximately forty employ- ees work in the mill at Minnova and about fifty work in the tech- nical and administration depart- ments. In recognition of achieving six months with no lost time acci- dents, all received a commemora- tive jacket and hat.

By Monica Wenzlaff - A sixteen- year-old Terrace Bay student is spending three weeks of his summer in Europe performing with the United States Collegiate Wind Band. Anthony Friedrich left for New York on July 2. There, he met the other 93 students he would be performing with for the first time. The band members had three days to rehearse togeth- er before they boarded a plane headed for Paris, France. Anthony began playing the clarinet when he took Grade 9 music three years ago. "I just figured I'd get my grade nine credit, but I enjoyed it so much that I kept going," he said. Although Anthony has just com- pleted his Grade 11 year at Lake Superior High, he has already fin- ished his fourth year of music through the school. He also per- forms with the community band and the stage band at school. Last spring Anthony began receiving information about the wind band, after Mr. Alexander, his high school music teacher rec- ommended him for the program. When he was presented with the Junior All Canadian Hall of Fame Band Honours at the high school awards banquet, Anthony decided to get serious about his music. "After I got the award, I start- ed looking more into the wind band," he said. He started prac- Photo by Monica Wenzlaff ticing scales on his own, and then set up weekly private lessons with Jim Culverhouse. In August, Anthony spent a week at the National Music Camp of Canada to further his training. Only two weeks before he was scheduled to leave, Anthony received his sheet music from New York. He got straight to work, practicing at least five or six hours a day because he was expected to play all 28 songs per- fectly by the time he got to New York. "What I was going to get was a complete surprise. Some of the music sounded familiar, but I had never played the music before," he said, looking over the reperto- ry which consists of marches, operatic and classical music, and many popular songs such as the "Muppet Medley." "I just have a few bugs to work out of the system yet," said Anthony a few days before he left. Fortunately, Alexander and Culverhouse were there to help him whenever he had a problem. During the three week tour, the band will visit many cities in Belgium, Holland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, and England. Anthony has been to Germany twice, yet he has never made a trip overseas without his family. Anthony will get a chance to see many of his relatives as he travels through Europe. He will be spending a free day in Boppard, West Germany with his great grandmother. "All his relatives will be meet- ing him at different places," said Benno Friedrich, Anthony's grandfather. While in Germany, each band member will also be spending a few days with a host family. "He's having a ball, but he's very busy with a lot of practic- ing," said Anthony's grandmother Edith, who spoke with Anthony just after he arrived in Europe. His entire family has been behind ' him since he was given this opportunity of a lifetime.
