Operation of this slope was complicated and subse- 

 quently abandoned by reason of the broken-back angles 

 in t]ie dip of the pegmatite, which for the first 70 feet was 

 45;, changing at this level to 75 for the next 40 feet, 

 wnere it flattened out to 35, at or near the bottom of 

 the air shaft. 



At the time the mine was last examined, this slope had 

 been abandoned and could not be entered. The hanging 

 wall at its mouth, is the intrusive quartz body, which 

 was continuously followed and undercut all the way down. 



Subsequently, and more recently, the two other slopes 

 mentioned, known as the "Hand", and the "Smith*' slopes, 

 were similarly driven to .a depth of approximately 81 feet,
