Geological notes on the Hillgrove mines

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

Two days, November, 10th and 11th, were spent in the Hillgrove area and brief examinations were made of the North Cosmopolitan, Garibaldi, Metz Black Lode, and Damifino Mines, as well as the surface of Eleanora, Freshold, Baker's Creek and other formerly worked lodes. The Black Lode on the Metz side is being worked for antimony, and J. Usher's scheelite mine is in continuous production. Development is proceeding on the North Cosmopolitan and Garibaldi antimony mines, and a little gouging is being done in the Swamp Creek and Baker's Creek gorges.
