History:
1897-1900: Three shafts, Nos. 1, 2 and 3, sunk to depths of 60, 105 and 60 feet respectively. Lateral development totaled 98 feet. Ten-stamp mill installed. Some trenching. Work by D.E.K. Stewart, under option from Old Diamond Gold Mines Limited, and then P. McLaren, L. Meyer, and C. Meyer. 1901-1935: Shafts Nos. 1 and 3 continued to 100 feet. 140-foot crosscut to connect Shafts Nos. 2 and 3.
1936-1941: Trenching and pitting, No. 1 Shaft deepened to 156 feet, 400 feet of lateral development, 2,950 feet of diamond-drilling, and 15-ton mill installed by Old Diamond Gold Mines Limited and Mayboro Milling Company Limited. (MDC 18, 1979, p35).
