Taylor's shaft and pumping engine house, Wallaroo Mines. "Fire broke out in Taylor's shaft and was first noticed at surface at 3 pm on January 1904. Shaft and workings in the upper levels were sealed off permanently and later a new shaft was sunk from surface to connect with the workings in the lower levels. The worst disaster in the history of the mines. See Supplementary Report from General Manager, Wallaroo & Moonta Mining and Smelting Company Ltd., annual report 1904.
