The city's future was threatened few years ago when mining en- pers found that asbestos mining perations in the area were under- mining land and endangering sec- ons of the town.

The plan, to be completed next ugust, also calls for laying eight miles of main-line railway tracks nd spur lines to the mines, build- g a new railroad bridge over the Thetford river, construction of new hways and provision of sewers nd power lines. But, Thetford people say, "it's heap at the price. It gives the mines another 100 years of life at of little more than $50,000 a Mining is the life-blood of Thet- ord and the neighboring commun- ties of East Broughton and Rob- onville to the north, and Black M.ake and Coleraine to the south. he mines and mills produce 80 per cent of the world's asbestos. vule at Thetford was a result | very success of mining tions in the area.
