Continued Temporary Cessation of Operations. <br /> Dear Mr. Mathews: <br /> Mid-Continent Resources, Inc. previously advised the Division that <br /> cessation of operations on January 25, 1991 would likely continue <br /> longer than 30 days. <br /> As of this date, the temporary cessation remains in effect, <br /> although the property is being maintained with the intention of <br /> renewing production upon purchase of the mine and transfer of the <br /> permit.

In addition, outside berms along the haul roads will be <br /> removed to comply with the wishes of the U.S. Forest Service. <br /> Reclamation activity completed to date includes the topsoiling and <br /> seeding of all but one acre of the old refuse pile, and some <br /> topsoiling and seeding of the new Sutey site.
