The C. K. & N. is a small mine, with very simple workings along the one lode. The main shaft, situated close to the El Paso line, is 498 feet deep and connects with three levels, level 1 being 300 feet below the surface, while the other levels are at intervals of 75 feet. These levels run diagonally across the Raaler claim, following the C. K. & N. lode, which strikes N. 76° E. They end on the northeast against the El Paso and on the southwest against the Old Gold properties, giving a total stoping length along the lode of about 400 feet. The Old Gold shaft, sunk on the C. K. & N. lode 400 feet southwest of the C. K. & N. shaft, is also about 400 feet in depth. The main level is 250 feet below the surface, and consists of a drift about 125 feet in length along the C. K. & N. lode, with a northeast-southwest drift on the Old Gold lode. The bottom level, 80 feet lower, consists of a similar drift on the C. K. & N. to the Old Gold lode. The collar of the Old Gold shaft is 98 feet lower than that of the C. K. & N. shaft.
