Historical information

Informit: Lease application no.11038 contains a length of about 48 chains of the Paddy's Gully line of reefs. The Derby Anticline penetrates the area from its north boundary for a distance ofabout 30 chains at which point the fold disappears southwards. The outcrop of the Paddy's Gully Anticline is exposed in McClure Street. Along this section of the Paddys Gully line the top of what is regarded as 'favorable beds' occurs about 150 feet from the surface. It is estimated that the containing beds of Ladam's reef and the Garden Gully 300 feet reef, both of which proved to have been rich ore bodies on the Garden Gully line adjoining on the west, will be found at the approximate depth of 550 feet onthe Paddy's Gully line near the intersection of McClure and Bannerman Streets. A shorter vertical point of attack, though the position is less favorable geologically, is kocks Pioneer east shaft which is 420 feet deep. A crosscut east from this shaft ata depth of 200 feet reaches the Derby Line in a distance of 700 feet. (https://search.informit.org/doi/10.3316/aesis.200104712)
