No, it's not a 10' hole... but you have to admit it doesn't take 900' of power!
Truth is, on most holes, it doesn't matter much. A 400' (horizontal) hole that goes up or down 50' is only 403'! WB#14's elevation is an extreme case; but even there, if it's 700' across and 150' down, the hypoteneuse is only 16' longer.
