Plank To iievive {Lining At Thoriiurn

(C?) -- Plans ior reviving coal " mining in nearby Tlnrbum by tapping the 5,000,000-ton McBean seam. untouched since 18H. were announced today by Mines Min- ister h D. Currie oi Nova Sco-

tia.

The old scam will be ened as a new operation "provl ed lin- ancial arrangements can oe rom- pleted and working and labor conditions will perm-it." Mr. Cur- rie said a.iter a conierence hare with Attorney-General .1. I1. Mao» Quarrie and H. C. M. Gordon. president and general manager oi Acadia Coal Company. which will operate the new colllery.

A ghost town lrom the time Acadia No. 3 nine closed down in i938 until its miners picked up work in nearby towns when the war started. Thor-burn would get a 25-year lease oi llie with the mine re-openlng. Plans call ior the extraction oi coal at the rate oi 800 tons a day. which would spread the estimated b,000..i00-ton output over this pwiod.

The McBean seam. worked lrom 1m until a iire closed the mine in i889, will be tap from the ilanark slope. Pa ially driven down as years ago. It was not indicated how long the prelimin- Iry operations would take.
