PRESENTATION OUTLINE

Morton Salt Mine

Weeks Island, LA

Rock Salt Mining

Morton Mining uses  the room and pillar method to allow for ceiling support

This is an under-cutter; it is usually the first step of the mining process

Blasting frees the salt from the wall to be picked up by workers.

Shafts bring up salt mechanically to be prosseced.
