Sometime part of Garlidna United? Was a mining venture established in 1869 on elevated terrain to the east of the renowned Garlinda Mine (SW698328). Despite efforts, only a small quantity of tin was extracted from the 22 fathom level, with additional workings extended to the 30 fathom level. In 1873, due to lackluster results, the mine’s equipment, including the engine, was sold off, and shortly thereafter, the company ceased operations.
