Worked through the discovery shaft (about 125 feet deep) and four main adits. The vertical distance between the shaft and the portal of the lowest adit, no. 4, is about 900 feet, and the horizontal distance is about 2,100 feet The workings, which probably total 8,000 to 10,000 feet; have been largely or entirely inaccessible for many years.
