Rock Crab Nests Discovered in Boulder Town's Great Mine On August 15 at approximately 19:00 hours, according to Steve, a worker and a shift representative at the Great Mine in Boulder Town, a Rock Crab nest was found in the main mine tunnel currently being dug. Steve immediately decided to fish for Rock Crabs with his fellow workers and delivered three large bags of Rock Crab caught to the Great Mine administrative office. The mine foreman informed all miners that they would be provided with free salt-baked Rock Crab for dinner for the next three days. This prompted the mining team to celebrate in elation."Finally, a feast," exclaimed a worker who preferred not to be named. The discussion on whether to destroy the Rock Crab nest is now at a fever pitch. Miner representatives who support destroying the nest expressed that if the Rock Crabs are allowed to roam free, they could pose a great safety hazard to the mine, while those who opposed refuted, saying it may be the only nest and it can provide a stable food source for the team. As of the time of publication, the Great Mine administration has yet to respond to this matter. The Great Mine Bridge Lift Under Maintenance From August 19 The administration of the Great Mine area announced that the maintenance of the Great Mine's mine bridge lift will begin on August 19 and is expected to be completed on August 25.
