Shaft dug in 1909 by the Old Gold Salvage and Wrecking Company, backed by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, to about 100 ft before cave-ins and flooding. A letter from Duncan Harris states the pit was cleared to 107 ft, where a platform blocked the bottom, and explosives were set off in it in fall 1909. Caisson TF1 cut through its remains in Season 9.
