Show A LESSON IN MINING oasis nogales ariz A lode is a streak as sure as youre born A dip is a pitch of the same A big bunch of rock that spoils the pay shoot Is called a horse in the vein A hanin han hanging 11 in t walls the top you know or roof of leads in place the footfalls foot walls just the floor of them or bottom bed or base an incline shaft is one sunk down on the leads own pitch A straight one just dont seem to care bout striking ore rich A crosscut runs to tap the vein from a point picked as best A tunnels about the same old thing so well let the subject rest A drift is a tunnel that follows a lead not down but in on a level A slopes a hole where ore was mined now dont that beat the devil A is a sort of shaft you see that starts from a level below and why they picked that name for it Is more my friend than I 1 know A raise is made to connect two levels or to strike the shoot overhead and the face of the drift is the end of the thing and so well say nough bough said john mccafferty al B E |
