South Level

Reference to Plan 16
This Level, or crosscut, is partly filled with work, which dams the water, and prevents further progress at about 20 fathoms from the Main Level.

Length, by the plan 7c 40l or 80fa.
Branch east in Blue Jock or Greenhow Rake Vein 3c 50l or 38fa.


Reference to Plan 19
This level is driven in the Great Cross Vein, till the limes are lost by dipping under the grit and shale. It then turns to the westward, along the bard[?] of the limestone, keeping the limestone on the north side. It was expected, by driving in this direction, to cut some of the Galloways or Blue Rigg Veins, and a very strong vein was cut at F, and the level was driven some distance in it, but it did not prove productive of ore.

9 or 10 fathoms above the level is a top Drift, which forms a communication between the Hading Vein Level and this, near the Forefield; chiefly useful as an airway.

Near the turn, at G, the level is broken down, and beyond that part the level is not now accessible.

Below the break there wants about 26 fathoms arching.

Above the break the length wanting archingld not be exactly ascertained.

From the New Sun Vein Level to the vein, G 6c 60l or 72fa
G to the Forefield in the vein 10c 20l or 112fa
South Branch, H 2c or 22fa
