"BIG CREEK, Idaho, Sep 23, 2007 (The Spokesman-Review - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- The Sunshine Mine bustled with activity Saturday morning, a forerunner of things to come.
Accompanied by the rumble of heavy equipment, men in hard hats scurried back and forth across the mine's "Main Street," a cement courtyard that leads to the portal, hoist room, maintenance shop and employee lockers.
Come December, "you won't be able to stand at the bottom of that stairway at shift change," predicted Mike McLean, the Sunshine's general manager. "You'd get run over by people heading out to their cars."
Sterling Mining Co. anticipates reopening the Sunshine Mine in December with a staff of 125. It's a second chapter for the underground silver mine, which closed in 2001 amid the financial troubles of a previous operator. "
