The sound of a Roadrunner at Period-7. The delay may be the Frog that Ron and I saw jump in the retention pond, it probably turned out to be an endangured species, or better yet, an Alien Resurrection as Ripley was the path it made in the water.

I received a note from CL over the weekend ... thought you would all be interested ... I know nothing more than the content:

************************

On the way to PHX this morning I was early, so visited Maxam's mining
site near Gila Bend. There are a lot of changes in the last 2 months as
follows:

The road to the South has been extended, about 100 yards from the office
buildings is a new, large storage shed. A large back hoe was sitting
nearby. Couldn't tell what they are doing at this new location. Both of
the 'imaginary' bull dozers are still present as is the larger of the
two front end loaders. The super structure over the vibra-mills appears
to be done and now includes what appears to be 2 cyclones and some large
diameter PVC piping. Looks like the feed may be by slurry. The small
screener that they built is now sitting at the end of the conveyor from
the Griz. They have a Grove heavy lift crane (RT 75 S) sitting on the
property and it has been used to off load a lot of new equipt. There are
two huge Eimco extractors, the belt size looked to be about 9 foot by 40
foot. About 12 drums of steel balls (about 1.62 in. dia.) for the
vibra-mills. 4 vertical steel tanks with mounted pumps. Two enormous
vacummn pumps with 200 H P elec. motors ea. A large cargo container
with 2 exhaust stacks out the top -- I am assuming it contains a very
large gen-set to power the vacummn pumps. This is some serious sized
equipt. I would expect the 2 pumps and gen-set to be worth 150K$ in
used condition. They have a slab with sun cover for their shop area and
it is nicely equipped.

I didn't get to talk to anybody about progress but it's apparent they
are assembling some serious sized toys to attack the mining with. Like
the rest of the desert dirt stocks, Maxam appears to be severely under
valued at present. Best to all.
