This was a small tin and copper mine located on the eastern extension of Phoenix Main Lode. It was accessed through a shaft that has since vanished beneath the buildings of Newland farm. The lode transitioned from killas to granite at depth. In the killas portion, productivity was limited, with drives on the first level extending only a short distance. The mine’s 72-fathom and 90-fathom levels were driven westward toward the granite-killas boundary, which dipped eastward and intersected the shaft at 116 fathoms below the surface. At the lowest levels, the lode was developed in both directions along its strike. However, the stopes were small and scattered, with only 3% of the ground blocked out by the levels actually excavated. Originally started in 1851 as the eastern section of Phoenix United Mine, it was abandoned around 1860. In 1864, the mine was restarted independently and operated until 1873. During this later period, it produced 32 tons of black tin and 31 tons of copper ore averaging 3.5% copper content.
