The main adit level was connected with the Tubal Cain shaft, and 
was used for trucking material to the battery, and also for saving the 
pumping of water to the surface. 
SCALE OF FEET. 
In the main adit cross-cut a number of.small quartz reefs, as shewn 
on the accompanying section, were passed through, the largest of these 
being 18 inches wide where intersected at 400 feet from the entrance. 
Much calcite occurs in this portion of the dyke. No driving was carried 
out on any of these veins, which may have auriferous shoots, nor on 
the larger bodies of stone which are seen to occupy fissures similar to those 
along which the various reefs have been worked. 
At 540 feet from the entrance, drives were put in north and south on a 
formation dipping west. Stoping was carried out above this level to 
the surface, and a winze sunk underfoot. The main south drive shews 
stopes over 80 feet in length, while a reef from 3 to 4 feet wide was 
driven on further south for over 200 feet. About 300 feet from the 
cross-cut a rise was put through to English’s workings in the adit above, 
but no stoping was carried on from the rise. The south face of the 
drive at 433 feet from the cross-cut shews numerous leaders in soft dyke, 
but the reef and its wall appear to have broken up. 
In the main cross-cut the eastern side of the dyke was cut at 630 feet 
from the entrance, and a drive put in along the contact with the strata 
for about 70 feet. 
Between the main south drive and the edge of the dyke two drives 
were put in southerly along small makes of stone in soft dyke. At this 
level the dyke has decomposed for a width of about 60 feet from the 
edge, the central portion being of a hard blue colour with a granitic tex¬ 
ture at 450 feet from the entrance of the adit. 
No record of the extent of English’s workings was procurable. 
The Charcoal adit is reputed to be between 700 and 800 feet in length, 
but was inaccessible at time of my survey. A connexion was made to 
this from the old Tubal Cain adit. 
ChalwelPs adit, driven from a point about 750 feet south-east of 
the entrance to the Tubal Cain adit, consists of a cross-cut over 300 feet 
in length, running in a north-easterly direction. The full length of this
