But the tunnels will never ac commodate a subway train. 'l‘hcy comprise the production end of Saskatchewan's pioneer} potash mine and a major part V in the province‘s tastesi-grow-i lng industry.

The province itself contains enough potash. an essential fer- tilizer constituent. to meet esti mated world demands for L000

years.

With only one plant in produc- tion in 1963 (the Internationa‘ ‘ Minerals and Chemical Corpor- ation mine near Esterhazy. 100 miles east of Regina) potash jumped in‘o third spot in Sas katchewans mineral industry I‘ according to value.

Three mines are scheduled for production within a year. in cluding a new one between Re gina and Moose Jaw. operatet' by Kalium Chemicals Ltd.

By that time potash produc tion is expected to be the sec- ond most important mineral in» dustry in the province at more than $50,000,000 a year. In 1903 it ranked behind oil ($160,000. > mm and just below uranium‘ (540000.000).

More fascinating than its sta tistical climb as a major indus try. however. is a visit to a pot- ash mine. The one operated here by the Potash Company of America is among the most modern in the world. It started production in l958 and has been re-equipped since then. TUNNELS FAN OUT

Drilling work that led to se- lection of this site for the mine ’ began in I951 and the major work of sinking a shaft was well under way three years ' later. Among the problems en countered was a ﬂuid stratum under extremely high pressure. ' which threatened to cave in any shaft sunk by normal methods. '

To overcome it a ring of 28 ‘ Reeling wells was completed ‘ around the shaft and refriger- not was circulated for five “ months to form a huge under- ground column of ice through which the shaft could be sunk. As it went down it was rein- forced with a solid concrete wall.

at the same time the surface extraction and processing plant was built and the mine went into production in December. l958. Water seepage through the shaft. lining forced it to shut down a year later.
