It was nearly midday before we commenced to ex- cavate the ground, and by that time most of the miners around had penetrated several feet of the top sandy formation in their various claims. But haste is not always advisable under such circumstances, and I pre- ferred to make as sure as possible of the lode's position within our pegs before sinking, and so obviate any necessity for laborious " driving " when bedrock was reached. We were fortunately in the "shallowest" ground, being within a hund...red yards of the forty-feet level strike, which meant, judging by the dip or in- clination of the auriferous wash, that we should probably find bottom about fifty feet down. As for the numbers below us, they might have to sink over a hundred feet, and even then miss the golden leader, so elusive are these subterranean channels. The usual size of prospectors' shafts on any goldfield is five feet six inches long, by two feet six inches wide, and this Just permits of sufficient room for one man to wield a pick.
