North side of quarry #120 and a road approach to the only bench developed. The area from A (far left of the photo) to B (far right of photo) is the waste pillar to the left of the shovel. The rock face to the right of the shovel has opened up an ore blanket that connects with the ore exposure in the "strike tunnel" working, whose portal is C (c is to the upper right of the photo). Area labeled D to the middle of the photo is a waste dump. The waste dumped was moved to area labeled E, just below D. Area f (just above the work trucks) is a rock wall on top of an old underground stope, connecting with G. The area to the left labeled G is the stope at the upper part of the quarry wall. Photographed September 1946 by an Eimco Corp. photographer.
