[QUOTE="Hunting the yellow, post: 378186, member: 68"] where there's a stope they did this for one main reason it was to take out the richest part of the lode/reef some mining districts shared battery's often one big company had the cash to cart the battery and make tracks to the mine to make it on site other smaller mines would use it for a fee. can you imagine back then if 60 mines in the high country all had batteries with huge steep hills you had to make tracks across before even getting a battery in there not to mention the creeks trees in the way etc. ? it would be a waste of money and time and effort to make so many for one area when all the mines can use 1 or 2 that have been setup already. and not to mention the cost of running 60 batteries plus wear and tear. often not the best mine had its own battery this was mainly because of its remoteness or other costs such as pumping water railways and tracks to the actual mine so they could cart supplies to the mine and rock out.
