NORTH MAXWELL COMPANY - History
Heritage Inventory History of Site: In the late 1930s, the success of the Maxwell Consolidated Company in working a reef on the eastern slope of Doctors Gully caused a revival of interest in other abandoned shafts in the gully. Pitchers Reef, to the north of the Maxwell's ground was re-opened as the North Maxwell. This company installed a steam winding plant and re-timbered the shaft down to 100 feet. The company worked with little success until 1942.Heritage Inventory Description
