never a great deal of ot work 1 4 t t done In the mine from No 2 shaft below p the level as the No 3 shaft I S 4 was located nearer the productive part of 1 e the mine and it was sunk in much better I 1 i i ground The best hoisting and pumping I f t machinery was installed at No 3 and I i when everything was running well there I j p No 3 was practically abandoned That is IsI t I the reason why the
