Block 14 Proprietary Record Mine
Campbell states it is at the south end of a hill. The reef is curved in between some quartz porphyry dykes, in a north-south direction, dipping 65 degrees east.
GML 498. A shaft was down to 60 feet, and some stoping took place. The lease was forfeited in February 1897. It was re-applied in December 1898 as GML 729. The shaft was then deepened to 100 feet. A portion of the reef was 'bundled' against a quartz porphyry dyke.
The ground was taken up as GML 901. A new shaft was sunk to the east of the first shaft, on a quartz leader 2-6 inches thick, showing gold. This already small leader rapidly thinned. Brown coloured residue of quartz tested for scheelite.
An historic gold mine.
Not to be confused with the Block 14 mine at broken Hill in NSW.
