The outstanding achievements of the operation were accomplished by the superb efforts of all those who have worked there.

We trust that someone will pictorially record these changes so that those reviewing the history of copper Canyon in 2040 after a century of production can smile as we do today at the inefficiencies of our early efforts." - page 2. 44 pages.
