[QUOTE="Roscoe, post: 228846, member: 1615"] Very interesting link G0lddigg@ thanks. That's the picture i was looking for, this makes what i am seeing out there make sense. The shafts i speak of run 40+ meters deep and run through schist, slates etc. They were following quartz veins down quiet deep. The shafts are square cut in shape, i have not seen round cut holes here, well not that i can remember. I see a lot of trenches cut also in the area, the mounds of dirt from them are just sitting there as well. I did read in Gold and Ghosts that they surfaced the tops of these vein outcrops before digging down. So it would seem a good idea to take some samples of these mounds, from that picture i can see what Silver was saying about being undercut in places. This is good, i am starting to piece together what was going on in the area and what they were doing. thanks. [/QUOTE]
