Brief Chronology of Mining Developments
Production Statistics Table
| Year | Month | Day | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1873 | - | - | A new shaft was being sunk to act as a second opening for the main shaft |
| 1874 | - | - | Although the shaft had reached the required depth, it had not been connected to the main shaft, so the mine was one of four in the District still without a second opening |
| 1875 | - | - | At year end the connection between the two shafts for a second opening was yet to be completed, as they still 'had considerable rock to drive through' |
| 1888 | - | - | A new slope was being driven underground in the Cooper seam. The hoisting engine was located on the surface and the rope passed into the mine through a borehole drilled for the purpose |
| 1889 | Sep | - | The cave at No. 5 mine (q.v.) also affected the No. 3 workings; it extended to the underground barn and three of their mules were lost |
