New section of pipe and stands for the tailings pond. Trusses with new sections of pipe are being built. Later a safety cable was added along a catwalk , which was used by employees to remove the plugs in the pipe and drain the tailings. Tailings were piped from Gilman as a slurry and, as the slurry dried, it became the same consistency as a fine sand.
