Hi Denise, My mining knowledge & terminology is very limited, but they tunnelled in from Sutton to meet up with the same reef of gold that they'd found at Hillsborough.

So, I wonder if this tunnel from one spot to another is still there, not caved in, or hopefully sealed off. Did they ever meet up with Hillsborough ?

Denise, I'll send you a couple of photos Anthony took. Also, years later (1920s?) they tunnelled in from Sutton area, but made a mistake in their calculations and wasted a lot of time and effort.
