## Narrative

The electrical power to northern Taos County was lost during a storm.  Our main hoist suffered damage to a rectifier that became evident about an hour later when 51 miners were coming to the surface at the end of their shift.  Electricians troubleshot the hoist to find the problem and replaced the part.  Hoist returned to normal ops at 5:40 pm and all miners came to the surface.
