ENGSTROM SHOVEL
BURIED IN CAVE-IN
The Herb Engstrom mining
venture at Basin Creek had the
misfortune of losing their gas
shovel during the recent heavy
rains. The unusally heavy runoff
washed away a bank of the pit
in which the shovel was standing
and the resulting cave-in buried
the shovel. It was reported that
the shovel was completely cover
ed and that some time will be
required to bulldoze the dirt away
from it.
