Xihuashan, the world's tungsten capital Xihuashan

Xihuashan, 9 kilometers northwest of Dayu County, is rich in tungsten resources and is known as the "world's tungsten capital".

Dayu tungsten discovery and mining has reached more than 100 years. As early as 1882, the name of the missionary Yu (Yu) Evangelical Church German pastor Wu Liheng found Xihuashan gold, buy Xihuashan Qingyun Temple monk Miao Yuan, stolen tungsten sand exports. In 1901, a mass movement against foreign religions led by Chen Daimao broke out in Dayu and set fire to Meiling Church. However, the struggle was brutally suppressed and Chen Daimao was killed. The patriotic spirit of the people of Dayu defied violence, and went forward. 1908 (Guangxu 34) in Dayu people's strong request, the Qing dynasty Jiangxi governor Yu Mingzhen and German pastor Wu Liheng and the German agencies in China for many times to negotiate, in our side of the austere righteousness, the masses of immense indignation under the powerful offensive, in one fell swoop to reclaim the right to Xihuashan mountain.

Before liberation, tungsten mining, always stayed in the workers swinging sledgehammer and fire blasting the primitive backward condition, broken small folk kiln all over the region of the mining area. After the founding of the country, the state attaches great importance to the development of tungsten as the main body of the non-ferrous metallurgical industry. In the Wuling Mountain Range, Xihuashan Mine was included in the National First Five-Year Plan as one of the 156 projects built with the aid of the former Soviet Union. The spring breeze of socialist construction, making the century-old mine youthful, the appearance of a big change. However, half a century later, the world-famous tungsten city, still shrouded in the export of tungsten ore, imported tungsten wire semi-colonial cloud. High-quality tungsten sand car loaded ship transport, across the ocean, the source of flow to the Western industrialized countries, in return for the appreciation of dozens of times still hundreds of times tungsten products humiliation, stabbing the Chinese descendants, but also stabbed the tungsten people's heart.

In 1969, Premier Zhou Enlai in a meeting clearly pointed out that to reverse the situation of China's tungsten sand exports, tungsten imports. The tide of reform and opening up, so that the people of tungsten to realize the Premier's wishes, Dayu people have completed from ore smelting to tungsten wire production of a full range of multi-species technological transformation, the production of tungsten black tungsten concentrate in Dayu won the national silver medal, scheelite tungsten concentrate to win the National Gold Medal, an annual output of 500 million meters of tungsten wire flow to the international market, after the deep-processed ammonium sec tungstate and blue tungsten (blue tungsten oxide) knocking open the door to many countries in a row. As early as the Song Dynasty (960-1279 AD), tin mining began in the Guanyinyan, Dashukeng, Zhengqiaotou, and Niubakeng areas of Xihuashan Mountain, and did not stop until the Kangxi period (1662-1723 AD) of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, it was not known to be tungsten ore, although black stones could be seen everywhere. In the late summer of the Qing Dynasty (about 1906), Wu Liheng, a German pastor of the Catholic Evangelical Church in Dayu County, took a sedan chair up to Xihua Mountain along the rugged and winding paths in order to explore the scenic beauty of the area. In the hiking view of the exquisite construction of the Qingyun Temple, a pleasant view of the natural scenery, found that everywhere you go, are black shiny stone, Wu Liheng very strange, picked a piece of a weighing, feel very heavy, they realized that this is a precious ore. So he picked a few more pieces and brought them back to the church. Guangxu 33 years (1907) Wu Liheng with stone back to China, after identification, found that this ore contains a rare metal tungsten.

Then, the German imperialism for the development of arms industry. The German imperialists, in order to develop the arms industry, instructed Wu Liheng to rush back to Dayu, and to transport the tungsten ore back to Germany. After Wu Liheng returned to Dayu, it will be in the name of building a garden, secretly make the churchmen on the mountain to pick, and buy at a low price. Then he hired a picker, picked to Nanxiong County, Guangdong Province, loaded the ship through Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and shipped back to Germany.

Soon, Wu Liheng for the exclusive possession of tungsten resources, private mining, behind the back of the local government, with 500 silver dollars, from the Xihuashan Qingyun Temple resident monk Miao Yuan monk hands to buy the right to the mountain. In this way, Wu Liheng began to blatantly plunder the ore.

Guangxu thirty-four years in the winter, there is a in Nanjing Xijiang superior school (the former Central University) students of the Dayu nationality, but also the Xihuashan ore to the school laboratory identification, known as containing rare metal tungsten ore. At this time coincided with Nan'an, Ganzhou, Ji'an, Ningdu Dao Daotai Yu Mingzhen came to Dayu inspection, learned that Xihuashan output tungsten ore and mountain rights were sold. Then ordered the county government to recover. After many negotiations with Wu Liheng. Only to 1000 silver dollars to redeem the right to the mountain. From then on, opened the "tungsten capital" of the glorious history. Min mining period

Xihuashan just found tungsten ore, tungsten ore is visible everywhere on the mountain exposed surface, the Evangelical Church of the Catholics can pick dozens of pounds per person per day, some as much as more than 100 pounds. After the redemption of the mountain rights, the local people to extract their own.

Republic of China 3 years (1914), after the outbreak of World War I, the arms industry in various countries in urgent need of tungsten production of ordnance, the United States, Britain, Germany and other imperialists have assigned their agents to Dayu County, to buy tungsten sand. The price of tungsten sand soared, which attracted thousands of farmers from Dayu County and neighboring counties to go to the mountains to pick and dig. At that time, most of the farmers who went to the mountains did not live on the mountains for a long time, and they only brought a little food and simple cooking utensils and tools, and they dined and slept in the wind and dug and picked tungsten sand. The peasants went up and down the mountain, coming and going as they pleased, without any constraints.

Republic of China in 7 years, the mountain has fire Yu, Nankang, Shangyu, Chongyi, Xinfeng and other counties, more than 20,000 people, the mountain sheds lined up, stores everywhere, tungsten sand production has grown greatly, is the peak period since the opening of the mountain. At this time, the workers used the method of flushing the water outlet to select and wash the coarse sand to improve the purity of tungsten sand. When trading tungsten sand, the tungsten sand collector observes with the naked eye, and considers that the tungsten sand collected meets the standard, then it will be purchased. The price of tungsten sand was 15 yuan per 100 kilograms of tungsten sand (hereinafter referred to as "milliyang").

Republic of China 8 years - Hunan Province Shukoushan a group of civilian workers came to Xihuashan. They used steel chiseling. Black nitrate blasting, not only along the vein open mining, but also digging small holes, which will Xihuashan mining technology forward. Due to the improvement of mining technology, tungsten sand production is increasing, coupled with the Republic of 10 years of tin sand re-launched, resulting in tungsten sand price suddenly fell to 10 yuan per 100 city catty.

Republic of China 11 years, miners from all over the United States, Britain, Germany under the imperialist fostering, have come to the county town of Dayu County to open the sand collection company, which has a "Huaji", "Ruiji", "Deyuyuan "Wah Kee", "Rui Kee", "Tak Yue Yuen", "Wah Nam", "Wing Sang", "Yue Hwa", "Kwong Kui On", "Huan Kee", and "Huan Kee". Huan Kee" and more than a dozen others, which can be described as a multitude of companies. The purchase of tungsten and tin sand began to be priced according to the degree. The mountain has a peddler to buy, tungsten sand price per 100 city catty for the highest 14 yuan 8 mln, the lowest 13 yuan; tin sand per quart (105 city catty) price of 40 yuan to 54 yuan. Hawkers collect sand, and then hire pickers to pick to Dayu County to resell to the sand collection company, picking fee per quintal (125 city pounds) 5 milliard. The price of tungsten sand in Dayu County is 15 yuan and 5 cents per 100 catties. Tin sand price per 100 city pounds of 55 yuan, so the miners will be more tungsten and tin sand pick to sell in Dayu County.

Republic of China in 12 years, after a department of the Guangxi army stationed in Dayu, catching Ding sent donations, looting, mountain workers have to go home to avoid. Xihuashan once appeared "cold mountain". The sand collection companies in Dayu County closed their business because they could not collect tungsten sand. After the Guangxi army left Dayu in 13th year of the Republic of China, the mountain only returned to normal.

With the deepening of the mining and the difficulty of the increase, the Republic of 16 years, the mountain began to appear by the civilian laborers a few or dozens of free combination of production gangs - "shed". Sheds have shed master, there are four forms: one is the family type, parents for the shed master, other members of the family have into the hole mining ore, some crushed ore, some ore dressing. The second is a joint-stock type, the free combination of civil workers, we equally share the food costs, the proceeds of the sale of sand to be equally divided among us. The third is the owner of the shed type, one is a person for the owner of the shed, employing a number of workers. Hired laborers only get wages (hired laborers daily wages of 2 cents to 4 no etc.) or share the net sand. The amount of wages depending on their work skills, food supplied by the owner of the shed, mining profits and losses to the owner of the shed; the other is a shed by the owner of the shed, employing a number of people, only for the meals do not pay wages, surplus, the owner of the shed to get half of the money to sell the sand, the hired laborers to get half of the money to sell the sand, the deficit, the owner of the shed to lose the whole shed food, the loss of the labor force of the hired laborers. The fourth is to pay the shed type, the workers of the food, utensils, explosives and other costs, are by peddlers, merchants or gentry loan, sand sales proceeds first repay the loan, the remaining is the lender from the two-tenths, and then the miners are equally divided. In short, the whole mountain, except for the family type, the rest of the mobility is very great, the workers can choose any shed into the shares, no interference restrictions. Hawkers on the mountain to buy tungsten sand per 100 city pounds plus weighing 15 city pounds, the price per 100 city pounds less than the county of Dayu one dollar. Because of the blind, chaotic mining caused casualties, disputes, fights and brawls often occur, the civil workers naturally divided into factions, then mainly with Yan Zheng as the leader of the Jiangxi faction and Jiang Guoyu as the leader of the Hunan faction.

Republic of China in 17 years, the Jiangxi Provincial Government Construction Department to raise funds for construction, began to collect tungsten sand tax, in Dayu County by the Cantonese businessman Guang Kui An and other 7 sand collection companies jointly formed the "Liji" company. Undertake tungsten sand transportation and marketing, and unified payment of tungsten sand tax.

Republic of China 18 years, Dayu County, more than a dozen sand collection companies, and jointly formed the "Dayu Tungsten Sand Association" unified chartered acquisition of tungsten sand. Because of the sand price is too low, the Chinese ****production party Xihuashan branch organization and leadership of the Xihuashan and dangping, Hongshui Zhai and other places workers, held a general strike against "chartered", forcing the government to dissolve the "tungsten sand trade association", canceled the private agency Transportation and marketing. In the same year, most of the Xihuashan Mountain was designated as "government land". Mining by private workers on the "government land" was free from any interference, and the government did not record any record, nor did it have any information to examine. The holes opened by migrant workers in the "government land" are owned by them and can be rented out, and no one else is allowed to encroach on them. However, there are still a small number of hills that are still privately owned, such as Shipingli, Dashukeng, Zhengqiaotou, and Guoshan Dongtongbian, where basically no rent is collected regardless of whether they are on "government land" or on private land, except for the private land of Shipingli, where a small amount of rent is collected, ranging from 10 cents to 50 cents a day for each hut.

Republic of China in 20 years, the production cost of drilling and firing mining increased, coupled with a large number of taxes and donations, tungsten sand price rose to more than 25 yuan per 100 city catties.

Republic 22 years, stationed in Dayu Yu Hanmou Department of the Guangdong army, the Department of military affairs sent personnel to Xihuashan, the civilian laborers, the workhouse registration, and management. Thus ending the Xihuashan 20 years of completely free mining history, the emergence of official management, private mining "government supervision and management" mode of operation.

Official period

Republic of China 23 years (1934), Xihuashan tungsten sand began to be collected by the Dayu County sand collection companies to the Jiangxi Provincial Tungsten Mining Bureau, and then commissioned by the Bureau to the Jiangxi Yumin Bank on behalf of the operation of transportation and marketing. As it was on the eve of the Second World War, the fierce competition in armaments, so that the price of tungsten sand from 30 to 40 yuan per 100 city pounds rose to 80, and then stabilized at 60 yuan. On March 13 of the same year, approved by the Ministry of Industry of the National Government, and submitted to the Executive Yuan for the record, in the Xihuashan delimitation of the state mining area, counting the area of 1,100 public dumping 90 acres, in accordance with the Mining Law Enforcement Rules Article 55 of the provisions of the law, according to the registration of the state-owned tungsten mining industry. In 25th year of R.O.C., the Resource Committee of the Central Military Commission of the Kuomintang ordered the Military Reclamation Department of the First Group Headquarters of the Guangdong Army to organize a survey mission to Xihuashan to investigate the mining of tungsten sand and monopoly of the situation. in July, the Guangdong Army withdrew from Danyu, and the 10th office of Jiangxi Tungsten Management Office was set up in the county town of Danyu. The office was composed of one director and one clerk. Specialized in handling Xihuashan, Bleaching Pond, Hongshui Zhai and other mines of tungsten sand purchase and transportation matters. From then on, Dayu County, all the sand collection company closed, more than 10 years of tungsten sand free acquisition of history came to an end. In the same year, the establishment of the Xihuashan mine, Xu Lirong as director. The mine is equipped with 3 labor clerks, 2 general clerks, 1 accountant. Worker is responsible for arranging the mine's engineering development and technical guidance of the loan production; the general clerk is responsible for arranging the mine's life and welfare and supply of materials, and for the loan miners on behalf of the purchase should be steel brazes, hammers, nitrous oxide, fuse and oil, salt, rice and other production tools, blasting materials and supplies; accountant is responsible for the mine's financial accounts and the production of loan loan loan loan loan loan loan loan of the loan miners.

Republic 26 early, Xihuashan Engineering Agency was established, Cheng Zongyang as director. Agency set up a public works officer, two clerks, three supervisors, three hired laborers. It mainly manages the recruitment and purchase of machines and equipments from outside for the project (i.e. self-run project) which is developed by the mine itself. The production of tungsten sand in the mines was still dominated by minshafts, and the mining of minshafts had great development, except for the flat shanks along the veins, there were also three kinds of shanks: horizontal shanks, slanting shanks and straight wells. The government also began to collect tungsten sand tax, there are two kinds of provincial and county local tax and national mineral tax.

Republic of China in 27 years, Xihuashan mine self-managed project using mechanical and manual digging, opened up the east and west alley (now the two pit four eighty-three in the middle section of the main alley). The east alley dug 203 meters, the west alley dug 204 meters. Mining field is also the implementation of the whole mountain people's holes in the management of the district, the district set up under a number of groups, groups under a number of sheds. Shed set shed head (head), group set group leader, district set supervisor. All miners, subject to registration, according to the shed license. From then on, there are "public holes" and "private holes" on the mountain, "Rigong" and "private workers". The miners in the public holes were called "Ligong", and among the Ligong, there were miners (rock drillers), washers, ore carriers, pillars, ironworkers, and miscellaneous workers.

Republic of China 28 years, the east-west alley dug 163 meters of the main alley, 162 meters of the sub-alley, through the eye of 11 meters. In the year of R.O.C. 29, not only 53.1 meters of the main alley were dug, 138.4 meters of the sub-alley and 24.55 meters of the penetrating eye, but also 4 veins of 0.5 meters wide and 1 vein of 0.1 meters wide were mined.

In the year of 30th R.O.C., the use of new type of explosives improved the blasting rate, accelerated the speed of shaft digging, increased the production of tungsten sand, dug 217.53 meters of the main lane, 42.6 meters of the sub-lane, penetrated through the eye of 98.85 meters, opened up the No. 1 prospecting hole, and produced 288 tons of tungsten concentrates.

In 31st year of R.O.C., the 10th office was abolished, and the tungsten sand acquisition and transportation and marketing of Xihuashan Minshu was transferred to the mine for handling. In this year, 280.40 meters of the main tunnel were opened up, 567.32 meters of the sub-tunnel were opened up, 236.75 meters of the penetrating eye were opened up, and the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th prospecting holes were opened up. In 2003, it opened up 322.37 meters of main tunnel, 183.15 meters of sub-tunnel, 80 meters of penetrating eye, and opened up the No. 5 and No. 6 prospecting holes.

In the first half of R.O.C. 33, 86.61 meters were dug in the main lane, 51.82 meters in the sub-lane, and 3.29 meters in the penetrating eye. In the second half of the year, the Japanese army invaded Gannan, at the same time, the outbreak of the Pacific War, tungsten sand is difficult to sell, the price of sand plummeted, Xihuashan mine was ordered to stop mining and acquisition of tungsten sand, most of the employees were demobilized home. Republic of 35 years, after the Japanese surrender, the mine only resumed production, to the end of the year the main lane dug 5.4 meters, 93.75 meters of sub-lane, through the eye of 8.8 meters. Product variety increased molybdenum concentrate.

Republic of 36 years, the main lane dug 57.55 meters, 272.95 meters of sub-lane, through the eye of 396.9 meters, 175 tons of tungsten concentrate, opened up the 7th prospecting holes, and the establishment of the first special minerals management office employees Reed Progressive Society Xihuashan Engineering Agency Branch (should be the society), under the general affairs group, training group, sports group, recreation group.

Republic of China 37 years, in Xihuashan elevation of 474 meters to establish a net sand field. The mine also opened a mining technician training course, *** training 1531 technicians. In this year, the mine for the entire staff of the assessment of technical titles and technician grading. Technical titles are divided into engineers, deputy engineers, assistant engineers; workman, assistant workman; main manager, manager, deputy manager, assistant manager and so on 3 kinds of titles. Craftsmen are divided into first, second, third and fourth grades, fifth and sixth grades.

Republic of China in July 38, the liberation army advanced into Gannan, tungsten management office. Xihuashan Engineering Department and Xihuashan Mining Department's key personnel wanted to flee, 500 workers were demobilized home, "self-managed project" was suspended.

Restoration period

August 16, 1949, the liberation of Dayu County, Cheng Qi, Zhang Anguo, headed by the People's Liberation Army of the 33rd Division of the military representatives took over the Xihuashan Engineering Office. August 22 and sent Li Jingqin, a military representative to take over the West Field, after the takeover of the field is still by the Xu Stoolong as the field director, Li Jingqin as deputy field director. The mine has a management staff of 8 people, 4 workers, an assistant engineer, abolished the supervisor, and at the same time began to plan for the resumption of production, the development of the main production of the loan sharks, to speed up the "self-managed projects" to resume the production of preparatory work policy.

In the whole mountain loan, the cancellation of the loan head system, the opening of the collective welfare of miners, a large number of welfare materials and production equipment into the mine, stabilized in the mountain of the miners team, and gradually restored and developed the production of the loan. By the end of the year, the number of miners had increased from more than 380 to more than 1,300, and the number of holes had increased from 36 to 100. Thirty-five workers' groups were formed in all the mines, and a preparatory committee for the workers was set up. The mine also sent engineers, technicians and safety managers to provide technical guidance and safety inspections for the mines, prioritized the mines that had high grade and good efficiency, and allocated funds to subsidize the daily necessities and production materials of the 180 defunct mines.

In the mine's "self-managed project", 318 workers were recruited to form a number of production teams, and representatives of each team were elected to participate in the management of the mine. The mine also established a workers bathroom, workers canteen and other collective welfare facilities. This year, 34.35 meters of open roadway, 640.93 meters of prospecting works, 12.89 tons of self-selected gross sand, acquisition and processing of 1,000 tons of net sand. In the acquisition of sand to points, each ton is set at 700 points, each quintal (2 city quintals of 200 city pounds) sand pricing for the 50 city Tan rice, in the payment of 60% discount with rice, 15% discount with cloth. 25% discount with nitrous oxide, brazier, etc., at the same time, in the severe crackdown on the premise of the head of the traders, allowing traders to go up to the mountains to reasonably acquire tungsten sand.

In 1950, Xihuashan mine in addition to the configuration of a director, but also equipped with two deputy director, and set up a public works unit, accounting unit, business unit and general affairs unit. The director was in charge of engineering technology, the first deputy director was in charge of administrative work, and the second deputy director was in charge of industrial transportation and personnel affairs. The Public Works Unit is in charge of the exploration and mining of self-run projects and the technical guidance of the loan production, the statistics of the production volume, the signing of the production contract and the safety management, etc. The Public Works Unit is also responsible for the management of the loan subsidy. Loan subsidies and other work. The Accounting Unit is responsible for auditing the expenses and revenues, making summonses, preparing monthly statements and managing the accounting affairs of the supply and marketing cooperative. The Operations Unit is responsible for material procurement and management of materials and production products. The General Affairs Unit was responsible for paperwork, personnel, financial management, supplies and health care. In this year, the mining field of all the minshaft production area division, the whole mountain **** divided into 3 districts, each district by the mining field to send a minshaft administrator is responsible for the management. Each district is divided into lots according to the terrain (the first, three districts each 3 lots, the second district 2 lots), each lot set up lot committees, lot committees with organization, labor protection, production, culture and education, youth and safety commissioners. 3 districts managed by the geographical area is: the first mining district jurisdiction of the lower Au, Shipingli, garden age on the Guanyin Rock, Niubakeng, Dashikeng, Bashotan, Silk Mawping, Ogongdong, Mawashui, Upper Shibihe, rotten Ridge, Niu Gangdi, Niu Zishi, etc.; the second district has jurisdiction over Zhong Au, Ragged Ridge Upper, Zhu Zi Wo, You Ya Ridge, Ma On Shan, Tou Yu; the third district has jurisdiction over Shang Au, Dawoli, Qi Chai Wo, Dahuotou, Xiaohuotou, Luo Keng, Cai Du Pai, Dawokeng, etc.. Mountain total **** there are 2,916 civil workers, gun mouth (i.e., working face) 165, 39 water mouth, playing a small seedling (i.e., small vein) of 230 households, 159 households picking zero sand. The miners signed 680 production contracts with the mine, of which 166 were for gun ports, 25 for water ports, 330 for hitting small veins, and 159 for picking zero sand. In that year, the miners **** output 1240.85 tons of tungsten sand. The "self-run project" has more than 600 workers, 70 meters of pioneering works, mining works 600 cubic meters, the production of tungsten concentrate 17.55 tons.

In 1951, the mine abolished the general affairs unit and set up an administrative unit and a loan unit. The administrative unit was responsible for paperwork, personnel, statistics, employee wages, labor protection, attendance, education, appointments, dismissals, transfers, and the expenditure of mine management fees and the custody of fixed assets. The Mining Hole Unit is responsible for the management of production and safety of the Mining Hole. The mine has also carried out a comprehensive reorganization of all the minshafts in the mountain. After investigation, the unsafe holes were seized and mining was stopped. At the same time, more than 120 safe and good holes had 549 production loans, and 580 production contracts were signed with the workers. In this year, there were 157 production holes and 3,053 workers, including 1,371 skilled workers, 856 odd-job workers, 399 sand pickers, 246 female workers, and 171 child workers. Fixed in the mountain production of 2111 people, half-workers and half-farmers 942 people. Annual **** handmade civilian production of 1696 tons of sand, selecting and washing of 1299 tons of concentrate. In the same year, "self-managed project" rectified the labor organization, each public loan is divided into a number of production classes, under which there are a number of production groups, as well as clamping groups, brazing groups, brazing groups, etc.. In addition, there is also a wind puller and workshop production management workers. The washing yard is equipped with a barrel washing group, a trough washing group, a crushing group, a hand-selecting group, a picking group, and a sand press management group.

In 1952, the mine began to implement the leasing of loans. This year, the mine **** to the miners to buy 1819 tons of sand, tin sand 7.7 tons, molybdenum sand 2.8 tons, to 183 households in the hole production loan 322 times. The "self-managed project" opened up 337.2 meters of roadway and 300.85 meters of paved roadway.

Preparation for Expansion

After the liberation of Dayu, the Party and the government immediately set up a management organization for the miners' holes and started to investigate the miners' holes, register the miners' workers, sign the production contract, develop the miners' holes' production, and lay the foundation for the expansion of the mines.1953, we also focused on the formulation and implementation of the miners' holes' internal partnership contract and the labor contract.1953-1954, we conducted a comprehensive survey of the miners' holes production status according to the subsection. In 1954, Xihuashan Mining Field formally set up the Minshou Receiving Committee, with Guo Fuping as the director and Song Wen and Yuan Jiuzhang as the vice directors. The committee was headed by Guo Fuping, with Song Wen and Yuan Jiuzhang as deputy directors. The committee had an office, a political working group and a general affairs group, and on March 18, 1954, it began the work of recovering miners' holes. First in the mine in the third district and a section of the first district for the pilot, began on April 16, ended on the 19th, the recovery of 1,365 civil workers; the second batch of August 4, the recovery of 436 civil workers; the third batch of September 18, the recovery of 776 civil workers. Three batches **** recovered 2,577 people. From then on, Xihuashan all the people's loans recovered state ownership.

Construction

1956. Xihuashan has a production and technical supervision section, expert work section, infrastructure and finance section, construction technology section, shaft digging team, masonry team and other capital construction organizations, by the deputy mine director in charge of infrastructure, comprehensive and unified leadership.

The entire construction project in addition to the shaft project (including the shaft digging masonry 6 spinning.). Bracket and pit railway laying), the Department of Xihuashan tungsten mine self-owned, the rest of the civil engineering and installation by the Jiangxi Nonferrous Metallurgical Construction Second Engineering Company, the second installation of mechanical and electrical installation company and the ninth metallurgical construction company. Mechanical and electrical installation company and the ninth metallurgical and chemical construction company and other units contracted for construction.

July 1956, according to the technical design of the book to start the construction of shafts and alleys, to October 1958 completed all the pit transportation system project. The project has 215 main level hole, 431 main level hole, 1# auxiliary shaft, 2# auxiliary shaft and the total length of 1636 meters long 7 sliding mine shafts, in addition to this, but also dug the production section of the stone door, ventilation shafts, shunting yard. Ventilation shafts, shunting yards. In addition to this, there are also excavated various production section stone doors, ventilation shafts, shunting yard, in-pit water pump house, regional power substation, fire fighting equipment store, tool store, rock drill repair room, in-pit explosives store, and a large number of prospecting and quarrying pit.

March 1956, civil engineering construction. Beginning construction is the mine's own design of the workers' village. 1957 after December only one after another to carry out industrial construction. 1958 January groundbreaking to build the main plant of the processing plant. 1958 September, except for the tailing dam project, all civil engineering basically completed. With the civil engineering works, in December 1957 began to install equipment, in 1959 at the end of September completed all the installation tasks.

Completion and acceptance

February 23, 1960, the establishment of the Xihuashan tungsten mining and processing enterprises, capital construction project acceptance committee, by the director of the Jiangxi Provincial Administration of Metallurgical Industry, Li Huafeng, director of the Jiangxi Provincial Administration of Metallurgical Industry, deputy director of the Jiangxi Provincial Administration of Metallurgical Industry, Kang Wenqing and other 4 people as deputy director of the commissioner, the death of the secretary of the Committee of the Jiangxi Province, Dayu County, Zhang Xigui and other 22 people as a member of the commissioner. Commissioners after four days of on-site inspection, two days of discussion and research. Acceptance report was prepared. 2:00 p.m. on February 29 in the meeting room of the West Tungsten held a signing ceremony for the completion of acceptance. By the **** Xihuashan tungsten mines, deputy secretary of the Party committee Qu Baichuan speech, Western tungsten engineer Zhang Shouwu read acceptance of the signed book, the Jiangxi Provincial Bureau of Metallurgical Industry, deputy director of the infrastructure Shen Bingyan made an important speech. At this point, the project was basically completed and began production.
