The use of good paths, ladderways, semi-fixed lamps, neat stacking of waste rock etc. suggested the use of a large labour force. “One has a mental picture of perhaps some hundreds of persons at work, some carrying fuel or support timber in, and ore and rock waste out, probably using baskets carried on the head, with others conveying water in a similar way”. (Willies, 1987: 86)
