"Where Canada's Iron Comes From"
by A.B. Caswell
NOTE: Before the two mining companies merged in 1922, they each had mine slopes numbering 1, 2, etc. When they merged, Dominion's No. 2 Slope (the one where the mine tours are now conducted) retained the No. 2 designation. It is Scotia Company's No. 2 Slope that is being referred to in this 1912 article. After the two mining companies merged, it became No. 6 Slope. 
The photo below (courtesy of Ken Power) is a clearer image of the photo on page 493 above entitled "Big engines are operated at the Wabana Mines." The scene is No. 3 Hoist House. (See the Lindsay page under "Photo Gallery" in the top menu for two more images of this machinery.)
