Plan to Bring Reeves MacDonald Mine into Production
Vancouver plan to mobilize a 4 1 000 ton mill and start production at Reeves MacDonald Mines in early 1948. Jens Jensen, Reeves vice president, says a 900 foot raise will reach the surface from the river tunnel. The Salmo district mine lies between the Salmon and Pend Oreille rivers in southern British Columbia. A road to the railway was built this year and diamond drilling will begin on a new section once water is secured. Pend Oreille Mines and Metals controls 60 percent of Reeves stock and finances all expenditures.
