Operating intermittently between 1853 and 1870, this mine faced several attempts at revival. However, it remained relatively unproductive, with only 6 tons of black tin recorded in 1854 as output. The narrow lodes were believed to contain cassiterite, wolfram, pyrite, and fluorspar, but the deposits were not lucrative enough to sustain extensive mining efforts. A pumping engine house still stands on the site at SW 640 324.
