A new main haulage steel rope, to cpwe both the James and Strongman State mines is being installed. The rope is in eight reels, each of 0,.j00 {feet and five of the reels, totalling 16,500 feet, were put on last evening, the remaining lengths, to enable the mine-; to be worked to-day, being taken from the old rope. The remainder of the new rope will be put in at a later date. The old rope had reached practically the end of its life for this purpose and breaks in it had caused stoppages recently, while there was also a likelihood of its becoming dangerous to the men working on it. The new rope, in full, weighs 374 tons and is valued at about £5,600. You’ll come to White’s, of course, for your Coat.
