Abstract
THE sinking of deep shafts is a branch of mining of such an occasional nature that it is unusual to find anyone having experience of more than a few sinkings in one or two localities, or of the continued application of one and the same system in several fields, so that a specialist in this subject is not easy to find. In addition, it would be difficult to find a less attractive side of mining, or one more arduous, difficult, and troublesome; but it can also be very interesting, testing as it does the technical ability, tenacity, and ingenuity of the engineer in charge in the highest degree.
