General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit MINED IN 1912, 1940-47-FOR TUNGSTEN FROM 1941-43, 1955-56
Deposit MANY OPEN PITS AND TRENCHES HAVE BEEN CUT. ONE TRENCH JUST EAST OF THE SHAFT FOLLOWS A GARNETIFEROUS COPPER VEIN N10 DEG W. THE TRENCH WALLS ARE COATED WITH AZURITE & MALACHITE. THE TRENCH IS 25 FT WIDE, 80 FT DEEP AND 250 FT LONG. THIS REPRESENTS THE 80 FT LEVEL THAT WAS STOPED TO THE SURFACE.
