The Moonta Mine shewing Elder's Shaft
Lithograph of the copper mine at Moonta showing Elder's shaft, in the middle towards the left and a double whim in the background. A note on the back by Mr O. Pryor reads: 'Elder's was the first shaft sunk on what is known as Elder's and Taylor's main lode at Moonta. The lode is about half a mile east of the spot where Patrick Ryan first discovered copper at Moonta in 1861. Elder's lode was found a few weeks later by prospectors. The horse whim in the centre of the picture is known as a "double whim" - it has two ropes, one hauling a kibble (bucket) up the shaft, the other letting a kibble down the shaft.
