Sometimes I amaze myself at what I can find on the internet if I look hard enough. Here's a photo of the Thomas W. Shaft from a July 1945 report by Parker Liddell to the Reorganized Silver King Divide Mining Company. Ditto with this image. By the way, I retrieved both of these and the report itself from the wonderful, wonderful people at the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology.
