<br />The main opening on the Hill lode, is an inclined
<br />shaft, 6 x 10 Pt „ two compartment, bucket and ladder way,
<br />dipping to the S. ':%, at an average angle oP 65°, and having
<br />a depth of 465 Pt. The shaft has levels at 100 Pt., extend-
<br />ing fi, F•, to cave, and N, 1'1, about ton Pt„ connecting with
<br />shaft t° anrPace. At a point 2b Pt, N. ':7, oP shaft, on 100
<br />Pt, level, a vein is rut- cn which some drifting and etoping
<br />has been done, said using having a course N. 4b° E., dipping
<br />to the Pd, 1F, at an angle of 60°, and. having' a width oP 2-1~2 Pt
<br />Considerable etoping has been done, both above and belovr the
<br />j lU0 Pt. level bete+een the two shafts.
<br />Levels are reported at depth oP 260 ft., 30U ft.
<br />and 3b0 ft. Same are inaccessible, due to the fact that
<br />water was in shaft np to a point about 20 Pt, below the
<br />i 100 ft. level.
<br />~ The main opening on the Cold Lode, ie an.lnolined
<br />shaft, 6 x 9 Pt., two oomntirtment, baalcet and ladderway,
<br />II
<br />i dipping to the N, i7., at an angle oP 76°, and having a depth
<br />~I oP 236 Pt.
<br />Said shaft has levels at depth oP 70 Pt., extending
<br />li 60 Pt, to the S. 7l„ and ILt 1S0 ft., extending 2'l Pt, to the.
<br />N, 'I?, and 20 ft, to the fi, '•'+.
<br />The holsting is done by bucket, weight oP load hoisted
