One of the original shafts, the "Old" Quincy No. 1 was in full operation by 1854. After the development on the Pewabic Lode and additional shafts were driven, this shaft was used only as a winze after 1874 and was eventually shut down in 1892. The location for this shaft is northeast of the No. 2, adjacent to the current Quincy Mine Gift Shop.
