On the coverThe newly reclad headframe ofCrean Hill Mine gleams in the sun.The mine was recently reopenedand the first trainload of ore wasshipped on May 8 (see photo onthis page). This shipment was thefirst since the mine was closed in1978 and marks the beginning ofproduction from what is now astate-of-the-art all-electric mine, oneof the most technologicallysophisticated in Canada.Every piece of equipment usedunderground will be electricallypowered. It will also becomputerized, self-monitoring andwill automatically adjust itself orshut itself down if there is variancefrom its established settings.When the mine reaches fullproduction in 1989 it will be

capable of producing 3,000 tons ofore per day with a productivity of25.2 tons per manshift. This morethan triples the productivity of themine when compared with the last

year of full production in 1977. Atthat time the mine was producing3,300 tons per day with aproductivity of 8.1 tons permanshift. For the full story seearticle beginning on page 10.

tH MEMORIAMInco officials and shareholders observed a minute of silence at theCompany's annual meeting in memory of five Inco employees whotragically lost their lives in two mining accidents since the beginning ofthe year.

Mr. Charles MacDonald died as a result of an accident at Crean HillMine. Four men died at Levack Mine when an uncontrolled flow ofcrushed ore escaped into the hoisting compartment in which they wereworking. The Levack miners were: Mr. Rene Bedard, Mr. WilbrodGauvin, Mr. Donald Knight and Mr. Germain St. Amour.

Although the Division has achieved a significant improvement insafety performance during recent years, the recent mine fatalities havespurred the Company to further increase its safety efforts- As a result, anew safety initiative, which involves a comprehensive analysis of alloperations, has been put in place. Its ultimate goal is to eliminate injuryin the workplace.

Inco Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Charles Baird, outlinedthe new program at the Company's annual meeting.

"Our objective is to ensure that fail-safe systems are in place, that willassure personal safety, even in the event of equipment or human failure.This analysis will be conducted by risk analysis teams jointly establishedby the Company and the United Steelworkers of America. The Mining,Health and Safety Branch of the Provincial Ministry of Labour will alsoadd their expertise."

NCO DROPPED

FROM DOWThe following article was written by Inco's Public Affairs Department in New York and gives somebackground information on the recent announcement about Inca being dropped from the Dow Jones IndustrialAverage on the New York Stock Exchange. We include it here for the interest of our employees and pensioners.

Some of us were shocked, others felt only a twingeof regret or a vague sense of loss, when we learnedthat Inco would no longer be one of the 30companies of the widely followed Dow JonesIndustrial Average after an association lasting 59years.

We had never thought much about it before, justsort of took it for granted and used it to impress atluncheons and parties: "We're one of the Dow 30,you know."

How many of us ever stopped to consider what wewere part of, how it works and what purpose itserves?

Basically, it is an index of the relative price ofsecurities based on the daily average price of 30selected stocks, all of which are listed on the NewYork Stock Exchange. The index is published everytrading day in the Wall Street Journal, which isowned by Dow Jones and Company. To arrive at theaverage you would expect to add up the stock pricesand divide by 30. Not so. When the Dow 30 wasestablished in 1928 it was done that way, but todaythe divisor reflects the numerous stock splits of thecomponent companies over the years, and is nowbelow 0.9.

Investment tools

The investment community follows this indexclosely because it provides a handy barometer ofoverall market performance. Related indicators areDow's 20-stock Transportation Average and 15-stockUtilities Average. Together, the three averages makeup the composite index. All valuable tools for theprofessional investor.

The reason given for removing Inco from the Dow30 on March 12 of this year was that the replacementcompanies, Boeing and Coca Cola better representtoday's market and long-run changes in the economy.Two replacements were needed because another firm,Owens-Illinois, was also taken off the list due to thefact that it was going private and, therefore, wouldno longer be traded on the stock exchange.

A Wall Street Journal spokesman stressed that theInco substitution was being made solely to improvethe market sector weighting of the index, not becauseof any change in Inco itself, nor, added a spokesman

for Dow, because of anything to do with Inco'sperformance.

In any event, professional investors don't buy Incostock, or any other stock, based on the fact that it isor is not included in the Dow Jones IndustrialAverage. While the announcement did spark a flurryof unusually active trading in Inco stock , a "sell"mentality was short-lived and the stock quicklyrebounded.Changing market

What, then, were the underlying factors thatdetermined the Inco substitution?

Charted on a quarterly basis, the Dow Jones Industrial Averageprovides an accurate reflection of the growing strength of themarket during the current decade.

One consideration was that both Boeing and Cokestocks are very actively traded and widely held byboth individual and institutional investors, whereasInco stock is less heavily traded and held mainly byinstitutional investors. In terms of capitalization, orstock price times the number of shares outstanding,both new additions are among the 50 largestcompanies on the Big Board. Inco is in the top 500.

Mainly, however, Dow was simply recognizing thatthe economy is moving away from dependence on theheavy industry sector, the so-called smokestackindustries, and becoming more and more dominatedby high tech and service businesses. Whilesubstitutions have been infrequent over the years, thelast decade has seen substantial change in thecomponent mix of the Dow 30. The name"Industrials" has only been retained for tradition'ssake. The present list includes a greater weightingfrom such sectors as advanced technology, service andhealth care.

MATT LAN DRY14Courage and determinationovercome the odds

Matt Landry has defied theodds, conquered a handicap andhas come up smiling. Now, hisaccomplishments have made himan inspiration as the area "Timmy"representing the Easter SealSociety.

The plucky ten-year-old fromChelmsford refused to be humbledby the birth defect which left hisarms half the normal length.Instead, he pursued his love ofhockey and now officiates as alinesman with the Sports Northsquirt hockey league.

And for about five games eachweek, Matthew's father, Mark,lashes on his son's skates so Matt,

"He's done this on his own,"said Mark a blaster foreman atCreighton mine. "He was kind ofscared the first couple of timesout, but his love of the sporthelped him get over it," he added.

'At first the players would lookat me a little weird;' said Matt."But now they're used to me andtreat me the same way as anyother referee."

Not only does Matt refereehockey, but he is an avid roadhockey player - "almost everynight" - a swimmer, anenthusiastic martial arts studentand a cub scout. In school, he

Because of his short arms, hehas had to work on his balancewhile skating but appears to havemastered it, his father said.

Overcoming the obstacle of abirth defect has taken bothpatience and perseverance saidMark, adding the struggle has notalways been an easy one.

"It wasn't all hearts andflowers," Mark said. "There's beenenough tears shed over the thingsMatt has tried to do but couldn't... and all the taunts and teasing atschool.

"But I look at it this way. Wejust take each day as it comes.Naturally, there will be things hecan't do but we always supporthim when he wants to trysomething new."

Matt also realizes theimportance of his accomplishmentsin providing inspiration for otherswho face handicaps. "I tell themthat if I can do it, they can do it,"he said.

"And if they're worried aboutsomeone being cruel to them orteasing them, I tell them just toignore it;' he added. "If you wantto do it, you've got to do it yourway."

Matt's not sure what professionhe would like to pursue in thefuture, but he is sure of one thing;he'll always be an avid sportsman,fisherman and hunter and willnever let a handicap stand in hisway.

and is named after the late RalphDouglas Parker, a former seniorvice-president of Inco, who startedthe competition in 1937.

The problem which each teamhad to deal with in this year'ssimulation involved treatingvictims of a mock tornadodisaster. Since the teams comefrom both mining and surfaceplants the problems in the Parkerfinal are designed so that neitherteam has an advantage by facing awork related test.

In keeping with pastcompetitions great care was takento produce a problem that was asrealistic as possible in terms ofsight and sound. From casualtysimulation to sound effects andcrowd control, the contestants hadto think quickly and make accuratemedical diagnoses under thewatchful eyes of judges.

The first team on the floor wasthe McCreedy West squadcomposed of Claude Frappier,Nick Schatalow, Clement Belanger,Malcom MacNeil, Bob Coupal,John Boden and PeterZieleniewski. They had 45 minutesin which to handle the situation.After a brief intermission theSmelter Complex took to the floorto test their skills. (They were keptin a separate room while theMcCreedy West team was on thefloor and had no knowledge of theproblem until it was their turn).Team members of the SmelterComplex are Scott Duncan, NeilPacaud, George Grenier, MarcelNainee, J.P. Coutu and LarryBeatty.

Mike Sopko, president of Inco'sOntario Division presented theParker Shield to the winning teambut stated in his remarks that"there are no losers in thiscompetition. The Companybenefits, the community benefitsbut most importantly the teamsbenefit."

The McCreedy West team willnow represent Inco in the McCreaTrophy competition against thebest first aid teams from themining industry in the province.

CREANHILLFirst All-electric minecould herald thebeginning of a newelectric mining era.

When Crean Hill mine in Inco'sOntario Division was closed in1978 little did anyone realize thatit would be re-opened as the firstall-electric mine in North America.

State-of-the-art electrictechnology will be used in themining process and all productionequipment - from crushers tocages, scooptrams to drills - will bepowered by electricity.

The mine was already well-serviced with electrical power sothe amount of new wiring toinstall has been kept to aminimum. The whole concept ofan electric mine is based on thefact that the equipment is poweredwith electric motors instead of theconventional diesel fueled motors.Most of the mobile equipmentsuch as scooptrams will beconnected to the electrical sourceby way of an overhead trolleysystem, similar to electrictrolleycars.

According to Menno Friesen,area manager of the CreightonComplex, which includes CreanHill mine, electric equipment suchas scoops are not new. "We'vebeen using electric scoops atCreighton mine for about 12 years.But the difference is that the

equipment going into Crean Hill issecond generation" (equipment).

"The electric motors used arevery energy efficient and muchmore of the energy is convertedinto work than is the case in dieselequipment. Also the maintenancecosts of the electric equipment isless than the diesel equipment.Add these benefits along withimproved safety and a betterworking environment and you cansee why this is the way of thefuture."

The use of electric equipmentwill provide for a better workingenvironment by eliminating dieselfumes, oil bearing drill exhaustand greatly reducing the noiselevels. This also makes it a saferworkplace.

Most of the new equipment willbe installed by the end of July andat that time the mine will employabout 120 people.

In 1977, the last year of fullproduction, the mine wasproducing 3,300 tons per day witha productivity of 8.1 tons permanshift. When the mine reachesfull production in 1989, it will becapable of extracting 3,000 tons ofore per day with a productivity of25.2 tons per manshift.

abol.

The mining method will be theproven and safe vertical retreatmethod using high density backfill.Most of the mine's production willtake place on two levels and willbe monitored from a control roomlocated on surface.

The Company could have

purchased the required productionequipment with conventional dieselmotors at a lower price but thebenefits gained by going to electricmotors tipped the scales in favorof electricity. By creating a betterworking environment and reducingmaintenance costs, the electric

equipment is expected to helpincrease the productivity rate aswell.

"Crean Hill mine has provided aunique opportunity to go allelectric because we are basicallystarting from 'scratch'. As dieselequipment is replaced in othermines, it will be replaced byelectric equipment whereverpossible", Friesen elaborated.

By the time the mine isrenovated and the electricequipment installed, an estimated$25 million will have been spent.If all goes according to plan thesuccess at Crean Hill could heraldthe beginning of a new electricmining era.

"Given all the factors incompetitive mining today, there'slittle doubt we have to move inthat direction," concluded CreanHill mine superintendent BobRussell.


RESOURCE MOREVALUABLE THAN THEORE WE MINE"

It all started back in 1979." I was working at the Frood

drill shop at the time," said DickEngland, superintendent of minesequipment research. "We saw amore versatile use for our ITHmachines. (In The Hole drills areused for drilling large diameterholes underground). They justweren't fulfilling our needs. Butwhen we went to the equipment

suppliers to see if the drills couldbe redesigned to meet our needswe were told that they weremaking the best equipment thattechnology would allow. There justwasn't much interest from them tocreate new designs because of themining industry's economiccondition."

Dick and a few other peoplethought that they could do better

and came up with a new design oftheir own. Dick was given the goahead to take his new drill designto the prototype stage.

"We needed to develop a way tomake a drill that would be easilymoved underground through smallspaces. We wanted the drill to fitthrough an opening as small astwo feet square. So we came upwith a modular machine which

12 March/April/May 1987 Triangle

could be dismantled, moved,reassembled and put back to workvery quickly," said England.

The prototype machine was builtat the Frood raise bore depot andtested on surface. It was then putinto a production environment atLevack mine and proved to be sosuccessful that the go ahead wasgiven to build more machines.

At the time that this prototypedrill was being developed, Incowas going through one of the mostdisastrous financial periods in theCompany's history. As a result theSudbury operations were forced toshut down for 10 months. It wasduring this period that Inco'smines research department becamea full-fledged entity and Dick wasgiven the job of heading up themines equipment research sectionof the department located at theold Murray mine site in CopperCliff.

"We took over the old MurrayOpen Pit garage and one of thefirst things we did when the shutdown ended was to manufacturefive of the new drills," statedEngland.

This drill (which was thenknown as the Go-60) is called theCD-90 and has evolved into theeven more versatile CD-360 drilland is now manufactured invarious configurations byContinuous Mining Systems, anInco subsidiary in Sudbury.

The CD-90 has played animportant role in helping Inco toconvert more than 80 per cent ofthe Ontario and Manitobaoperations to new bulk miningmethods which, in turn, haveenabled Inco miners to doubleproductivity per manshift in thelast five years while decreasing thelost-time accident rate by twothirds.

The CD-90 marked thebeginning of a new era at Inco.The Murray Shop has flourishedas a centre of innovation and DickEngland and the men he workswith have built a fullycomputerized and automatedversion of the CD-90 drill which isnow being tested underground.They are also developing a 70-toncomputer-controlled haulage truckfor use underground which iselectrically powered and has anon-board guidance system that canbe programmed to operate

automatically and remotely.Once this equipment and other

advanced machinery is proven in awork environment, it is turned overto Continuous Mining Systemswhich markets it worldwide.

Every project that is thought upby the people at the Murray Shopis refined by way of an informalprocess that is based on the theorythat two heads are better thanone. "Nothing proceeds past theidea stage until at least threepeople have agreed that the idea isfeasible," said England. "Oneperson can come up with the ideabut unless the idea stands the testof intense scrutiny by others in ourMurray team, it won't survive."

The spirit of innovation which is

evident at the Murray Shop isfurther strengthened by the feelingthat everyone is part of a team.

"The person who has the mostto do with the design follows it allthe way through to production,"England stated. "By doing it thatway you get the satisfaction ofseeing the complete project fromthe beginning to the end."

In one of Inco's printadvertisements, which ran inCanada, a line was used whichsums up the spirit evident in theMurray Shop. 'At Inco, we'vetapped into a resource morevaluable than the ores we mine:the ingenuity and drive of ourown employees." That resource isalive and well at the Murray Shop.

One of the pieces of equipment that the boys at the Murray Shop helped build and perfect is thisCD-90 drill which is used in bulk mining.

James BellisleThe milling department and the

Clarabelle Mill in particular, havelost one of their valued MaintenanceForemen in the person of Jim Bellislewho has elected to take his pension.

Jim was born in Combermere,Ontario on March 15th, 1933. At 15Jim thought he "saw the light" andleft home. He worked for a couple

of years for Ontario Hydro and thenas a truck driver in the Hamiltonarea. In 1951 he came to Sudburyand joined Inco in September of that

year.He was assigned to the Copper

Cliff concentrator and spent the firstcouple of weeks "learning the ropes"under the direction of FreddieStevens.

During the next couple of yearsJim worked for Bert Wood andHappy Clarke and learned most ofthe work involved in operating the

concentrator. "Shorty" Morrison wasanother member of supervision atthe time and when he was appointedsuperintendent of Levack mill in1959 he took Jim with him.

In 1968 Jim became a staffmember at Levack mill and remainedtheir until 1976 when he wasappointed Safety Engineer for theLevack Complex. A year later hewas transferred to the maintenancedepartment and two years later wentto work for Inco in Indonesia.

When he returned to Copper Cliffin 1981 he was assigned to themaintenance department atClarabelle Mill where he remaineduntil his recent retirement.

Jim married Sophia Pawluk in1952. Their three children are:Raymond, Robbie and Shelley (Mrs.Nick Szumylak) of Toronto.

Jim was well known for hispatience with young hockey playersin the Levack Minor League, wherehe served as a manager. Jim is amember of the Levack Elk's Cluband is an avid hunter. He is involvedin renovating their Burton Avenuehome where he put in a garden for

Sophia. Jim says, "She's thegardener; I just do the work"

Last summer he and Sophiavisited Sophia's mother and sister in

Saskatchewan. This year they hopeto visit Arizona. They are in goodhealth and are looking forward to

many happy years together.

Robert "Bob" BisallionBob Bisallion joined Inco on May

31, 1951 at the Copper Refinery. He

X \

worked there for about eight monthsbefore transferring to the copperreverbs at the smelter in CopperCliff. He worked there for Jack Frostfor some years and eventuallymoved to the slag dump operation.When the responsibility for thisfunction was moved to thetransportation department Bobmoved too.

Shortly after this move he joineda small group of people knownthroughout the company as jitneydrivers. These are the peopleresponsible for the safe movement ofinternal mail and small parcels

between all of Inco's mines, plantsand offices. Bob enjoyed this workand was well-known for hispunctuality.

Bob was born in Blezard Valley in1928 and received his basiceducation there. Later educationcame at Bourgeau College, inRideau, Quebec and was followed

by study at Sacred Heart College inSudbury. He worked for CanadaPost for a few years before joiningInco, perhaps an indication of hisdays to come.

There are five children in theBisallion family. They are: Andre,George, Roland, Pete, and Moniqueall living in the Sudbury area. Fivegrandchildren round out the family.

Bob has two homes to look afterat present, one on BarrydowneRoad, in Sudbury and the other inAlban. He enjoys his Albanresidence because it's near the FrenchRiver and allows him to have readyaccess to good fishing.

Bob concluded by saying: "Youknow, I don't have the energy to doall the things I used to do, and Icertainly don't do as much as Ithink I will."

Ivan (John) Bobesich

John Bobesich is Croatian bybirth. Born in 1925 he was educatedthere, and in 1940 he started a four-

year apprenticeship course which

was ultimately to lead to hisspending 30 years with Inco.

After completing his training inthe Croatian capital city of Zagrebin 1944, he was immediately

conscripted into the Croatian

National Army. After training for

about six months he was dischargedand returned to Zagreb where he

found employment, and alsoattended night school where he

received a degree as MasterMachinist.

After a further two years in thearmy he worked as an apprentice

instructor until 1952 when he movedto Hambourg, Germany. InNovember, 1954, he came to Canadaand settled in the Windsor area. Hewas unable to find a permanent jobthere so he came to Sudbury andwas hired by Fraser-BraceConstruction.

John was working as a pipefitterhelping build Inco's Iron OreRecovery Plant. During theconstruction there was a need for aspecial pipe reducer but because itwas not a standard item it wasgoing to take three months before itcould be delivered. John thought hecould do better and was able tofabricate the specialized part in justthree days.

According to John, Jim Metcalfe,

who was the AssistantSuperintendent of Maintenance atthe time, recognized the skillrequired to do such a thing andarranged for John to be hired byInco. That was the beginning of

John's 30 year career in the CentralMaintenance Department. When heretired he was a first-class machinist.

John and Nada Lucic weremarried in Croatia in 1946. Theirthree children are: Zlatko, (Gordon)a Sudbury lawyer; Nadica, marriedto John Sloan, a Kitchener lawyerand John Jr., a student at LaurentianUniversity.

Now that he's retired, John islooking forward to enjoyingspending more time in his twogardens. One at his home and theother at his summer place on theshores of Lake Nepawassi.

John has plans to remodel hissummer home and says: "I enjoythat cottage very much, both insummer and winter." All in all heand Nada are enjoying retirement.

Leo "Smiley" BrunetLeo "Smiley" Brunet was born in

Verner, Ontario in 1926 andremembers working on the familyfarm while he was growing up.

In the blustery days of February,1951, Leo decided to apply for workwith Inco and was able to get on atStobie Mine as a shoveller. He spenthis entire Inco career at the Frood-Stobie complex and worked at Froodand Little Stobie as well as Stobie

mine. He retired with a total of 35years of service.

Smiley married Marie Piette inSte. Jean de Baptiste Church inVerner in 1950. Their four childrenare: Marc in Ottawa, Richard in ValCaron, Ghislaine, Mrs. John Szabo,in Scarborough, and Diane, Mrs.

Gerry Myers in Unionville. Thereare seven grandchildren

Leo told us that he's always on thego. A large part of his time is spenton pastoral work which includesworking in a religious library andvisiting patients in nursing homes

George CourchesneFor 25 years George and Pauline

Courchesne had a special project -helping young children becomebetter citizens. During those 25 yearsthey brought up many foster

children. As a result their "family"

is wide-spread. Pauline told us therewas a lot of pleasure in it , but alsoa lot of work, and, sometimes, someproblems. About a year and a halfago they ended this activity, partly

because George would be retiringfrom his job as crusherman andtippleman at Stobie.

George was born in Verner onNovember 22, 1931. After school hehelped in his father 's store in Vernerby delivering groceries and cattlefeed. Their store is still there, but isnow operated by his brother. At 19,George joined Inco and was assignedto the nickel reverbs under JohnWeir's direction . Nine months laterGeorge transferred to Stobie mine

where he worked for the next threeyears. In 1954 he moved to Frood,working in many functions , beforereturning to Stobie in 1965. Georgesay: "1 worked in the stopes first,

then the shaft and then I became askiptender, and for the last two anda half years I was a crusherman andtippleman."

George and Pauline Lefebvre weremarried in St. Jean de BrebeufChurch in Sudbury on June 25,1952. Pauline was brought up inSturgeon Falls. In addition to theirlarge foster family, they have two

children of their own. Mike marriedDebbie Pringle and now works as a

mechanic for the CNR in Capreol.Their son, Patrick, is George's andPauline's only grandchild. DaughterJoan is now living in SouthPorcupine where she works at theResource Centre for the MentallyRetarded Association.

George and Pauline have a campon the CNR line, north of Capreol,where George fishes a little andhunts a little. George says he keepsbusy looking after his home in ValCaron and his camp, and has asmall garden in both locations.Pauline says of George: "He's aputterer. He keeps the kids suppliedfrom his garden , but we don't godancing every night because he hassome trouble with his back . Georgecan cook a good steak, much betterthan I, but, I'll tell you, he says hecooks good soup, and he does, but Ithink mine is as good , or maybeeven betterl He really does enjoycooking, though."

It's probably just as well, asPauline works part-time atLaurentian Hospital.

George says: "We don't have anygreat plans for the future; we'll takethe odd trip, but otherwise will justrelax and enjoy life."
