Historic gold mine now built over with housing.
Kinsella and Party put through 6 tons of ore for 3 ounces of gold in October 1895, then activity was only found in 1897. The miners followed the reef from the surface where it was a thread, however widened at a depth of 150 feet.
Some small tonnages were crushed during 1897. Described as a 4 foot wide formation with well defined walls of ironstone and gossan, containing an 8 inch wide reef of honeycombed quartz with pyrite and possibly other sulphides and coarse gold.
