The western side of the southernmost extensions are labeled “caved” and some are designated with “water”. Old works were encountered near the center of the mine, on the southern side between the east and west “wings” of mining. This area has been designated with a large general area of mining on the accompanying map. The old works may have been from the early years of this mine or a different operator.
