Small mine comprising a level and a shaft is situated on a minor group of WNW-oriented veins, constituting the mineralized knoll of Elbolton Hill. It is important to note that the muddy roof of the incline, which has yielded the finest fluorite crystals, is highly unstable.



1872-1900 Joseph Mason
