Scope and content
News item. [Footage at beginning taken underground - too dark.] Interview with Herb Shuttleworth, mines superintendent, about the closure. He says he hates to see such fine crews of miners leave. Shots of overall surface mine operations taken from an elevation. Interview with motel owner who says closure will impact his business. Interview with Arnold Walker, Vice-President and Mine Manager, Texada Mines Ltd. Main reason for shutting down mine, he says, is depletion of ore reserves and increasing costs. Mr. Walker says most of the employees do not want to leave the island -- it is a "nice place to live". All mine shafts will be closed and all the equipment disposed of within the next year. Interview with Ben Nicholas, Shop Steward for Local 168, Rock and Tunnel Workers. He says the company has aided employees by providing extra training to help them get other mining jobs. Aerial footage of the mine surface and surrounding areas. Shots of surface operations taken from outside it, and rather dark shots of the mine's mill.
