pretty cool article and map published in 1889, called "Defences of Our Coaling Stations": https://gwulo.com/atom/38123

it mentioned East Point, the old Mint, Lye-ee-Moon Pass, Lammas Pass

pretty weird to describe your defense system in details...maybe they were trying to scare away potential invaders?
