International Nickel'sNew Research FacilityWorld's Most Modern

"A new laboratory, the largestand most modern in the worlddevoted to research on nickel andits uses, has just been dedicatedby the Company at Sterling Forest,New York. It becomes our prin-cipal research facility in the UnitedStates,' wrote Henry S. Wingate,International Nickel's chairman ofthe board, in a letter to the share-holders last month.

This latest major developmentof rnco's research activities, alongwith modernization of the labora-tory in Birmingham, England, andto be followed by the opening of asimilar facility at Sheridan Parknear Toronto, points up the valueof nickel research to modern in-dustrial progress.

"At the opening of the labora-tory," Mr. Wingate's letter con-tinued, we announced a new basicgrade of maraging steel, contain-ng 12 per cent nickel. It wascommercially established through

'rnternational Nickel seeks todevelop, first in the laboratory andthen by plant-scale research, newquality products which are superiorto or less costly than currentlyused materials. Our research pro-grams reflect the more exacting,ever-changing, rapidly growing in-dustrial needs of today's world.

'The increasing demand for newmaterials in this, the Space Age,has intensified the Company's re-search activities on an interna-tional scale. Our laboratory inBirmingham, England, similar insize and scope to our new facilityat Sterling Forest, is in the courseof further modernization, Soon,we will also establish a newlaboratory at Sheridan Park nearToronto which will undertake bothprocess and product research work.

THIS SIMPLIFIED CROSS-SECTION DRAWING shows preparations at Stobie mine for the record blast. The hangingwall portion of 600 level floor and 1000 level pillars, as well as a small portion in the footwall area, have beenhoneycombed with rings of drill holes driven from drill drifts in the ore body. Boxholes and slusher drifts have beenestablished beneath the drilled ore body, ready to remove the broken ore and load it directly into cars in the haulagedrift on 1000 level or send it down the ore passes for haulage on 1400 level. The drawing shows the incline of theore body and the overhanging portion of hangingwall rock which was removed by the blast and came down on topof the broken Ore; after all the broken ore has been drawn down this rock will serve as a protective cover as miningproceeds below 1000 level.

A worlds record undergroundblast in the Stobie section ofFrood-Stubie mine on November28 broke 3' million tons of oreand 1 million tons of rock.

A solid block of ore the size ofa football field and 750 feet highwould represent the amount shat-tered in this gigantic miningachievement which used 464 tonsof powder.

The blast was so well organizedand contained that its impact wasless noticeable than an ordinaryopen pit bench blast.

Inco manager of mines JohnMcCreedy expressed himself avery gratified with the safe com-

pletion of this highly complexmining operation'. He said, Thework of the planning engineers,underground supervision, variousservice departments, and men en-gaged in making this record under-ground blast is to be greatly com-mended. Special mention must bemade of the work of the electricaldepartment in designing and wir-ing the intricate circuit for theblast."

Easily the LargestInformation compiled by a lead-

ing explosives manufacturer estab-lishes the Stobie blast as thebiggest in the history of worldunderground mining. Next on thehonor roll of large undergroundblasts took place at Inco's Murraymine on April 17, 1961, breaking2,120000 tons of ore and using 255tons of explosives. Another Mur-ray blast ranks third; it was firedon March 26, 1962, broke 1,580,000tons, used 194 tons of explosives.Next in order of size come Climax

BEFORE-AND-AFTER PHOTOGRAPHS show the effect of the blast as seen fromthe air. The rectangular opening in the bottom of the Stobie pit, 500 feetlong by 200 feet wide ond extending from the 600 to the 1000-foot level ofthe underground workings, was enlarged by the blast to 800 feet long by400 feet wide and completely filled to the 1000-foot level with broken ore

The next stage was to mine out the network ofsupporting pillars which are shown between the stopes, while at the same timestopes were being mined from the 1OO0foot level up to 600. Eventually theFootwall portion of the ore body was mined out to a depth of almost 600 feetbelow the old pit floor, and the stage was set for the huge blast on thehangingwall side.

EARLIER STAGES IN THE MINING PROGRAM at Stobie are illustrated by thesephotographs from the Triangle files. On the left is shown the Stobie OpenPit in October 1951 when surface mining had been completed. In the 10years previous a total of 1212 million tons of ore and 10 million tons of rockhad been removed from the pit, which was 1400 feet long, 1000 feet wide,and 348 feet deep.

Last Link with Construction Era at Thompson

Joe Martin worked as a samplerat the Copper Refinery for morethan 30 years. 'And it was a realgood place to work," he observed.

Joe is now retired on full servicepension and while enjoying hiswell-earned leisure admits that hedoes miss the gang at work.

His family came from a farmnear North ay and settled atSturgeon Falls the year the papermill started up, Joe recalls thatwas about 1900. Ten years laterthey moved to Val Caron and in1918 Joe left home to work at thepaper mill in Espanola.

When that mill closed in 1930

THE LAST LINK with the construction era at the Thompson plant is beingsevered with removal of the camp buildings erected in 1957 for the constructioncrews and later used to a lesser extent by Inco employees not residing in thetown. Five new boarding houses accommodating 234 single men have nowbeen built in the town by private business firms, and many private homes takein boarders. There were 27 buildings in the camp at the plant, including 16bunkhouses, two huge cafeterias, administration offkes, hospital, laundry,bakery, water tower and warehouses. Maximum occupancy of the camp inthe heyday of construction was 2500 men.

A LOCAL CONTRACTOR was given a contract to remove the canip buildings.Most of the salvaged material is being used by Inco employees to buildgarages in town and summer cottages on Paint Lake.

Fire BrigadesLooked Sharp inAnnual Contests

Inco's annual fire brigade com-petitions provided a couple of up-set winners this year.

Among the pumper brigadesLevack town was the surprisewinner, edging out Levack mine,top performer for the last twoyears, by 28 seconds. This wasthe first win for the Levack Townbrigade since taking the honorthree straight years back in 1946,'47 and '48.

In the non-pumper class FroodOpen Pit, which also won threestraight in 1946, '47 and 48, andhave not had a win since, breezedthrough their tests in the re-markably good time of oneminute, 11 seconds, a full 11seconds better than their closestrival Crean Hill. Last year's win-ning brigade from Coniston hada rough go this year ending upclose to last in the field of 15entries.

The competitions, designed to testthe speed, ability, knowledge andresourcefulness of the brigades.consist of several evolutions whichinclude the laying of hose aroundobstacles, extinguishing fires byvarious means, rescue work usingbreathing machines, and the loca-tion and correct use of fire equip-ment, Rivalry is keen and train-ing for the competitions helps de-velop very efficient fire-fightingreams.

Pleased and very proud of theirwin the Open Pit boys jokinglyrefer to themselves as the 'Old

an's Brigade and with goodreason. Youngest member, inpoint of service, is their chief RaySt. Pierre who has 25 years to hiscredit, while the longest servicebelongs to Charlie Sandberg whostarted with Inco back in 1928.Together the 10 members of thisbrigade account, for 285 years ofInco service.

Inco lire inspector W, A. Hum-phries. who conducted the corn-

His best time on his bike was12 minutes one way, and that onhis 64th birthday. Paul has threebikes, all multi-geared Italian-made speedsters, and many pairsof skis.

Paul Jansson's name is synony-mous with skiing in the Sudburyarea and rightly so. Since hisarrival in 1923 he has been tire-less in his enthusiasm for thisgreat winter sport, both as a pro-moter and participant. In par-ticular, he enjoys helpnig theyoungsters,

Paul was a skier and runner inFinland before coming to Canadain 1923. He came right to Sud-bury and at various times workedin the bush, at the old MurrayMine, with local contractors, inthe local ski factory and on con-struction, and also operated hisown steam bath.

R H. \VaddingtonAddresses NickelRefinery chapter

To the new members and to allother Quarter Centuriois, activer retired, the very best of good

wishes and the hope that you areall deriving as much satisfactionas I am in being part of this fine.enthusiastic gathering."

This was the cordial greeting ofsenior vice-president Ralph H.Waddington of New York to theannual dinner of the Quarter Cen-tury Clubs Port Colborne chapteron November 5.

Mr. Waddington was given awarm welcome at Port Colbornewhere he got his start with Inter-national Nickel in 1923 as achemist. He became assistantsuperintendent of the electrolyticnickel reffiuing department in 1926and held that position until hewas transferred to Copper Cliffin 1935 as assistant superintendentof the copper refining division.

The senior vice-president wasjoined by assistant vice-presidentand general manager T. M. Gaetzof Copper Cliff in presenting goldmembership buttons to 12 new25-year men, A. Cohoe, J. Durisek,M. Felhazi, S. Gang, E. Lampman,M. Pangratz, L. Puttick, D.Richardson, W. Ruzykl, F. Shelton,F. Sunday, and M. Walker.

New Members Safety-MindedIn his remarks Mr. Gaetz said

how much he had enjoyed meetingmany of the Quarter Century Clubmen on the job during his tour ofthe plant that day. Congratulat-ing the new members he notedwith satisfaction that three quar-ters of them had perfect safetyrecords and the remainder excep-tionally good ones. The generalmanager commended all membersof the Quarter Century Club fortheir assistance in passing on theirskill and experience to youngeremployees of the Company.

Four hundred members turnedout for the meeting and were wel-comed by the nickel refining divi-sions new manager, Warren R.Koth, who took the opportunityto express the appreciation of his

wife and himself for the friendly High Quality Entertainmentreception they had been given on Entertainment chairman Stewartcoming to live in Port Colborne. Augustine had arranged a quality

its confidence in the future.Before trying to look into that

future" the senior vice-presidentcontinued, "let us take a brief lookat the past. The quarter century

* just ended has been a period ofspectacular events. It has been atime of phony war, cold war, andtotal war, and mercifully it hasalso been an era of great progress.In many fields of mans endeavorthere has been more discovery andadvancement than in all previoushistory.

'Since those troubled wartimeyears, we have seen our countryand our Company grow and pros-per, and although our peacetimeyears have been uneasy ones, con-stantly threatened by enemies offreedom, horrifying new weapons,and new and unpredictable powerstruggles, we meet tonight in anatmosphere of peace and pros-perity, which we all pray will con-

- tinue.'And as to the future? We

cant, of course, forecast suddenevents or new forces that mayhave national or global impact,

and so affect oui' own destini&s. forbetter or worse. But there aresome things we can see that in-dicate what the future may holdin store for Inco and for us. and Iwould like to discus.s these withyou.

floubied in 25 YearsThis year Inco expects its de-

liveries of nickel will exceed 400million pounds. In the year 1939.just a quarter century past, worldnickel production totalled just 210million pounds, Mr. Waddingtonsaid.

These figures, impressIve thoughthey be, mean very little until theyare linked with the Company'searning ability, which, fortunatelyfor all of us, has also been im-pressive.

In 1963, our world-wide earn-ings exceeded 100 million dollars,a figure we had never beforereached. Earnings for the firstnine months of 1964 are expectedto set a new high record by beingbetter than in either the first ninemonths or the last nine months of1963.

'As our chairman said recently,this is the kind of performancethat our 64,000 shareholders liketo hear about. It is also of thegreatest importance to every oneof us who looks to Inco for his orher livelihood, For there I.s a directrelationship between the amountof money that the Company makesand its ability to grow and main-tain and expand its work forces.Put another way, high earningsrepresent the best kind of jobinsurance we can possibly have.High earnings, in fact, are whatmake possible the programs thatfostered and will continue to fosterthe Company's strength and capa-bility for expansion."

Competition Is StrongIt must always be kept in mind,

Mr. Waddington emphas1ed, thatInco is in a highly competitivefield. There are other producersof nickel. There are producers ofother metals and materials whonever stop trying to persuadeInco's customers that their productwill do the job as well as nickel."Our customers do not buy nickelbecause of a fascination for themetal itself nor do they buy ournickel because they think we'refine fellows and all that. Thecompetition being what it is, ourcustomers buy our nickel becausewe have been able to show themthat it is the best thing for themto use from the standpoint ofservice, quality and dependability.We have not achieved this highplateau cheaply."

In the past decade, the seniorvice-president stated, Inco hasinvested well over half a billiondollars in exploration, new equip-ment, and rnoderni.ztion of minesand plants. Right at the presenttime we have many multirnilliondollar projects under way whichinclude:• Preparing the new Birchtree

Mine for operation in 1968.• Construction of greatly in

creased oxygen producing a -cilities.

• Erection of a new plant at Cop-per Cliff to produce Nickel 90.

• Modernization programs at ourrolling mills in Hereford and atHuntington and also at ClydachRefinery.

'Some of these projtcts will becompleted this year, others a yearor more later but all will c'on

Inco scholarship winners havegone on to make distinguished con-tributions to the arts and sciences,ornament the noble professions.explore the frontit'r,s of research,

Since the scholarship programfor children of employees was in-augurated in 1956 a total of 785,00O awards have been made.

Sixty-seven of the 78 winners haveeither successfully completed uni-versity courses and received aca-demic degrees or are still attend-ing university.

An Inco scholarship pays tuitionand fees for a four-year universitycourse and annually provides $300to the recipient and a $500 cost-of-education supplement to the uni-versity. The awards are made ona one-year basis and are renew-able for three additional years oruntil graduation, whichever is theshorter period, providing the win-ners satisfy the academic and con-duct requirements of the univer-sities where the scholarships areheld.

To trace the careers of thescholarship winners who havegraduated from university theTriangle sent out 42 cuestionnairesand received 39 replies.

These mailed interviews tell astory of accomplishment and am-bition that will bring a justifiableglow of pride to the Inco scholar-ship comniittee and indeed to allemployees of the Company whichhas made it possible.

Many took the opportunity toexpress again their gratitude and'appreciation to the Inco scholar-ship program.

Dr. Eugene Wasylenki, a formerConiston boy, wrote, "As an Incoscholarship winner may I expressonce again my deepest admirationof the International Nickel Com-pany for setting up this scholar-ship fund which has helped torealize the intellectual goals of somany individuals and to lessen thefinancial burden of their formaleducation"

'Many tunes in the past I havesilently thanked Inco for makingall of this possible for me. I onlyhope that I have justified theirfaith. It is not until later that thefull value of the scholarship canbe appreciated," wrote KaarinaTulisalo, formerly of Copper Cliff.

Wendy Rivers of Port Colbornesaid, 'As for the future - whoknows? I only hope that I cancontinue in the good fortune thatbegan when I was born into aimInco family and thus qualified foryour wonderful scholarship."

Said Mary Hrobelskv, after an-.swering the questionnaire, 'I wouldlike to mention that there wouldbe no such information if it hadnot been for the kindness and thegenerosity of the Inco people inawarding me a scholarship uponmy graduation from SudburyHigh."

Wayne Steeves, Port Colborne:'I would like to take this oppor-tUlmity to again thank Inco for

their generous assistance withoutwhich my university educationwould have been impossible'

Junith Barron. Toronto: I havebecome increasingly grateful everyyear". Elizabeth Borland, PortColborne: "I shall always remainmost rateful to the InternationalNickel Company."

Winners whose scholarships arestill active and who will be cover-ed in a similar survey a few yearsfrom now are: John Feick'Queen's), Violet Jasiuna.s 'U. ofT., Margretta Maki McDonaldInstitute), John Farnham'Queen's), Claudia Grassby Mami-anapolis College), Terrence GreenQueens).
