Sliding down the main shaft $50

at the bottom where the miners
carbide lamps cast shadows upon
the tunnel walls. Massive wooden
beams rib the corridors. Water
drips occasionally from overhead,
accounting in part for the fibre

reason is apparent when fragments
of rock plop down.

up the incline by the cable car, the
