> Maybe I have not explained property where the x-ray work was done.  It
was
> done in a work area 3160 ft below ground level on the floor of a new
travel
> drift as we passed through about 1000 ft of waste salt and lost the ore
> seam.  X-ray would pick up a clay seam running paralell underneath the
> travel drift about 40 ft, if I remember correctly.  Clay seam would
always
> run about the same distance below.  (Material working in was shale,
potash
> and salt)  Miners could adjust the drift elevation to find ore seam
again,
> up or down.
> 
> As you can see, this work can be done without disturbing an inch of soil
or
> rock of our valuable home land.
