Thanks Denise, if you wouldn't mind. The Yack Cem record has him as Patrick SETRIGHT, as does the Vic BDMs. Does anyone know what a "pentice" is? Macquarie Dictionary doesn't have it.

I Peter, From a web page found on Google..... http://www.tipmining.com/TIPS/October2002_newsletter.pdf 'The lift chamber was first stripped of all the old fittings and a pentice constructed above the entry level. A 4 tonne winch was installed on the pentice.'

Peter, This is all I could find that sounds appropriate: a. A rock pillar left, or a heavy timber bulkhead placed, in the bottom of a two-or-more-compartment-deep shaft through which to sink it further. A small, auxilliary steam or air hoist, dumping apparatus, and pocket or bin are installed above the pentice; through an opening in it, sinking by short lifts is carried on while the shaft is in use above the pentice. Practiced in the Michigan copper country. Hess b. A cover, protection, or roof over a sinking shaft. The cover contains a trapdoor through which the rope and bowk pass. See also: Galloway stage Nelson c. In shaft sinking, a solid rock pillar left in the bottom of the shaft for overhead protection of miners while the shaft is being extended by sinking.
