There workings are in the Amethyst vein, underneath all old <br />workings. <br />For a general plan of the mine and a lonF•itudinal section <br />apply to IT. E. Reynolds. <br />There is no hoisting plant in use. <br />' TUTJTJELH. <br /> The entrance o all tunnels -1s from the East slope of Bachelor <br /> T,fountairi, on l'lest Flilloav Creek. 4?0. 3 tunnel is 8' x 8' <br />and 1800 <br /> , <br /> feet long.

P.11 tunnels and levels are connected by up- <br /> raises. The vertical distal:ce from tunnel PTa. 1, to No. 2 is 175 <br /> feet. From ?Io. 2 to No. 3, 210 feet. From TIo. 3 tunnel to A level, <br /> 132 feet. From A to B level, 165 i'eet. From B level to tunnel PIo. <br /> 4, 135 feet.
