3. Gamle faringer

Ei faring er gangvegen for gruvearbeidarane ned i gruva.

1.Den eldste faringa me kjenner er frå 1872 og går ned i kanten av den gamle loddrettheisen (1872-1899). 

2.Då det starta ny drift i 1899, blei det laga ny faring ned i gruva. Denne blei bruka til gruvedrifta slutta i 1946 av dei som skaut ned stein i gamlegruva. Gamlegruva hadde etasjar med 20 meters mellomrom. Då den nye loddsjakta kom (1917), blei steinen i gamlegruva skoten ut, slik at det raste ned på 182-meter stollen i nygruva. 

The old passage ways (the old mine) 

A “faring” was the miners walkway down into the mine. 

1.The oldest known passage is from 1872. It follows the rim of the old vertical winding shaft (1872-1899).

2. When mining resumed in 1899, a new passage was made. The new passage was used until the the mine was closed in 1946 - by miners blasting ore from the old mine. The old mine had levels with a distance of 20 meters between them. When the new vertical shaft opened in 1917, the ore left between levels in the old mine was blasted out and fell to the 182-meter level of the new mine.
