An adit is being driven into the limestone at the base of the
great Milltown Quarry with the object of intersecting Lomas's
Rake, Great Rake, Blacklant Rake, and possibly Senlant Rake.
These veins will then be worked down to the adit level. Spencer's
Rake will also be worked from its intersection with Lomas's
Rake.
Spencer's Rake which runs approximately east-and-west in
the Carboniferous Limestone on the south side of the quarry
is about eight feet wide at the surface and has been worked
in an open-cut.
The fluorspar is of good quality and pale yellow; it occupies
practically the whole width of the vein, except for a little inter-
mixed country-rock. It was trammed out of the open-cut and
tipped into the quarry. At the present time fluorspar is being
worked on Blacklant Rake.
