John Cooper + 1. Three bags of sand taken across and added to the second dumpy bag. Another water carry was required today.   John repairing the damage he’d done last week in the shaft Whilst cement was mixed on the surface and rocks were sent down. Very windy on the surface and a good draught coming out up the shaft. Another cementing session required once this one has gone off. Need to take another bag of cement across. The first dumpy bag of sand now empty. 2 hours.

John Cooper. Chopping out more of the bits sticking out near the top of the shaft. Definitely needs a lot of cement now. Pretty good haul line now. 1½ hours. John.

John Cooper. Chopping out the bits sticking out near the top of the shaft. The intention is to get a straight haul of spoil from the bottom. Might need a bit of cement before more is removed. 1½ hours. John.
