Williams records that in 1870 the mine was 120 fathoms deep, 160 persons were employed and pay day was the third Friday of the month.
In 'The Mines of Cornwall and Devon', Spargo notes of this mine that "The lodes in the richest parts, according to the reports, seldom yield more than 2 tons to the fathom; now, considering that the produce of a fathom of such ground is not worth above Β£12 or Β£13, it is a remarkable fact that this mine should have made dividends nearly to the extent of the outlay. Such facts as
these speak much for British mining, and although stocks of this sort may be so dealt with in the market as to bring disgrace upon the calling, it is yet a pleasant thing to see that the miner stands with clean hands in the matter, and conducts his business with a care, respectability, and prudence that demands our admiration."
The present day site is divided into two main localities on the moorland side of the east-west dry stone wall. The eastern site is marked by a chimney and the ruined foundations of the engine house around this are numerous tips and though now mostly grassed over, those in the south-east corner are still accessible.
To the west about 400m is another entirely isolated chimney around which are shallow burrows and mostly grassed over tips.
