Narrative

A tree fell across an Avista power line that feeds the Galena mine during a storm which produced extremely high winds. No one was riding the shaft conveyances at the time. Crews were asked to stand down until the power was restored by Avista crews at approx. 6:45 P.M. Hoistiman had no problems restarting equipment.
