In the south end a shaft follows through the slide to a depth of 
2r2 feet, and an irregular cross-cut has been put out for 14 feet to the 
east on the slide. 
At a depth of 17 feet, the slides come in from the west to the east, 
the top one at an angle of 25 deg. and the lower at 30 deg., from the 
horizontal. Where the slides cut the indicator there was only 2 \ inches 
of crushed broken rock between them, but at 12 feet in from the shaft there 
was over 2 feet between the slides, and the rock was more defined and 
becoming settled, showing that the two slides are diverging rapidly as 
they go east. Each slide shows a thin pug seam, and can be easily distin¬ 
guished in section. (Fig. 2)2.)

At a point 7 feet in east from the outside edge of the shaft and under 
the lower slide, there is a double slate indicator exactly similar to the 
one cut off above the slides, having the thickness of slate and sandstone, 
together with the metasomatic quartz vein in correct position and of similar 
character to the one worked. There appears to be little doubt that this is 
the lost indicator, and it now remains to drive south on it, keeping the 
lower slide as a roof to the drive, so that any cross vein cut may be 
prospected directly under the slide on the indicator. The distance it will 
be necessary to drive south cannot be stated, as it is impossible to estimate 
the extent of the movement in that direction, but if the cross vein has 
passed on under the slide it should not be very far to the south.
