This track will run over the grade from the new shaft. passing to the southeast over the present road way between the carpenter shop and the portal to the mule tunnel, in from of the old shaft, and reaching the south side of the canyon. will parallel the track last mentioned. and con- meeting with it. will terminate above the concentration.
