File contains images depicting the underground mine at Cassiar, showing structural damages, repaired damage ground support, and mining and repair processes.

The file contains a photo inventory entitled “Underground Mine Structural Inspection, Rock Mechanics Dept. Foto Documentation” with a complete file inventory linking the picture number to a location, title, and dated film. This photographic documentation was assembled for the purposes of liaising with a underground mining consultant located in South Africa.

• Images document structural ground support including steel cables, support arches, metal mesh, shotcrete, rockbolts, wooden beams.
• Images show ground support damaged through ground movement, but some depict newly installed or repaired support.
• Images depict ventilation ducting that was crushed or torn.
• Mining processes depicted include miners installing a rock breaker, miners paving the adit floor with concrete, miners inspecting a damaged section of mine, miner loading drill or blastholes with ANFO (ammonium nitrate / fuel oil mixture) explosives, and long hole drilling.
• Technical elements of the underground mine depicted include a mining device and ore in a chute (annotated ‘1290 crusher’), the conveyor, ‘LH drill’, ore processing machine annotated ‘1350 breaker’, and an electrical box titled ‘Weighometer’.
• Specific locations shown include ore draw points, ore passes, access drifts, a hatch and door titled “Fuel station 1415”, and a dead end drift with a stack of equipment and an orange cable annotated “1335 access electrical stations”.

This file contains various aspects of the underground mine.

• Photos depicting damage to the underground mine such as fallen rocks, cracked shotcrete, twisted rock bolts and metal mesh, exposed and damaged steel structural frames, and repairs underway.
• Steel cables, chains, support arches, and custom welded rebar frames used in the structural reinforcement of the underground mine.
• Several engineering tests related to the structural damages are depicted.
• Two sets of images show a Porta Power hydraulic tool with a ready rod attached, a hand pump, as well as images of a technician testing the holding power of a rock bolt.
• Set of images documents a technician drilling cores and installing extensometer anchors, as well as grouting the anchors and connecting an extensometer. Technicians are shown inspecting damages with a ruler and rockhammer for scale.
• A set of images showcase the threaded rebar, nuts, and face plates used for rockbolts.
• Utility vehicles, yellow vent ducting, and utility pipes are visible in several images.
• Also include is an image of a man in office space, foggy night scene with a telephone pole, office desk, stack of supplies including concrete, steel cable, and spray paint, and several images of a broken piece of ore and concrete outside the mine portal.
• Several images depict miners working in the bucket of a scoop tram.
• Photos of the stramler feeder breakers, which was used in the underground mine.
• Images of ground support verifications where the deficiency of the exhaust ramp was investigated. This collection has various annotations explaining the broken shotcrete and the wire mesh installed.
• A collection of photographs depicting tunnel shotcrete failures. Each photograph has an accompanied textual annotation.
• Photos of MMD #750 Sizer equipment - assumed used in Underground Mine.
• Photos of pump used in 1335 level, wheel fan for ventilation removed from 1350 level,
• A collection of ground fall event 29 March 1989 - with annotations depicting damage

File consists of records related to library and archival research in England. File includes printed information on The Welcome Library (formerly the Welcome Institute for the History of Medicine) and related correspondence.

During a year away from studies in 1987-88, Dr. Paul Sanborn developed a successful grant proposal to the Science Council of BC (SCBC) to pursue a postdoctoral project with Dr. Tim Ballard in relation to sulphur-deficient soils in BC and prescribed fire. This project built on an existing broadcast burning study conducted by Macmillan Bloedel Ltd. near Port Alberni on Vancouver Island, led by Bill Beese (later at Vancouver Island University). Dr. Sanborn's work addressed sulphur forms and amounts in the soils at these sites, and the chemical processes influencing sulphur availability in relation to prescribed fire.

Only one part of this work was eventually published:
Sanborn, P.T. and T.M. Ballard. 1991. Combustion losses of sulphur from conifer foliage: Implications of chemical form and soil nitrogen status. Biogeochemistry 12: 129–134. https://doi.org/10.1007/BF00001810

The remainder of the work was documented in the Project Completion Report to SCBC, dated February 28, 1990.

Thirty-four of the accompanying project data files were selected for archival retention.
