You posted another link recently to Macassa(sp?) Mine which I think is not far from Chaput Hughes/Swastika just outside KL . Swastika was the rail passenger station for KL . The cemetery is there and they used to have a big tent erected each winter to house the caskets of the deceased until the spring thaw . Later ‘steam Jennies’ were developed to use steam to thaw the ground to dig the graves . The frost line is about six feet down up there .
When I moved to Brussels in the 70’s I kept my home (hundreds of miles South of KL) and rented it out until after my return . Those were the days of cloth diapers and the final renter flushed a diaper into the line to the septic tank . The repair cost about ten months of rent because it occurred in winter and they had to thaw the ground to replace the pipe AND septic tank because of new codes .
I had to evict the tenant after increasing the rent by 10% the following year , which he referred to the rent control board which had mandated a cap of 5% per year for all rentals . I sold the place .
IPSO – it shows me how long it takes to develop a working mine .
