A relatively minor mine in economic terms, but with a long history, if intermittent, history.
The mine was working in the the 18th C, reference being made to a dispute with the nearby Garlidna Mine in 1758.
Worked in 1835 in conjunction with Garlidna Minre by the Wedron Royal Mining Company, during the 1840s Wh Ruby was worked by a 70" cylinder engine, the largest in the Wendron area. Together with raising tin, Wh Ruby returned 136 tons of copper ore in 1847.
In 1865, the group was known as Garlidna United, but working ceased, said due to the inability of the shareholders to pay their "calls".
