Началась добыча угля на шахте Cordero, планируется выпуск 12 млн тонн в год к 1980 году

Mining of the Cordero Coal Mine south of Gillette commenced at 7:30 a.m today with the completion of all final approvals obtained by the mine’s management. “We will be taking off the overburden today and this proportion is expected to continue to about mid-December,” Jim Nichols, mine manager, said. “At the present time we contemplate making the first coal shipments shortly after the first of the year. Our present goal for the mine is to be producing 12 million tons per year by 1980 at Cordero,” Nichols said. The company plans to start in the spring of 1977 with two eight-hour shifts and by late 1977 the mine is expected to go on 24-hour per day operation. From the July 13, 1950 News Record: In a recent survey made of families who have owned a television set for at least two years, a public relations man from Washington D.C., Charles Alldredge, found that the habits of each member in the family changed, according to an article in “Pathfinder.” Such a survey might not be of interest to residents in this area as television is one of the newer developments of this day and time which would seem to be far in the future for potential local users. But in looking over the statistics uncovered by Mr. Alldredge, we may obtain a picture of ourselves as we are today and the transition we can expect. Before buying their sets, adults in this group had gone to the movies 5.8 times a month. Now they go only 1.5 times a month. Their children used to go to the movies 6.1 times a month, but now they go 3.0 times a month. Football game attendance by such families is down 30%, baseball 30.9%, and wrestling and boxing 53.7%, and children read comics 13.2% less. Keep it Clean.
