Note 87 — EXCURSION V.
Reading edition
Lead is principally found in cross courses, or north and south veins. Pentire Glaze, near Padstow, which has lately produced the finest cabinet specimens of Carbonate of Lead, ever found in this country; and Huel Golding in Perranzabuloe, are the principal mines in which the Lead occurs in cross courses. Lately, however, East and West Lodes of Lead have been discovered in the Parish of Newlyn, by Sir C. Hawkins, in draining a marsh. They are about two feet wide. Besides the Lead and a little quartz, they consist entirely of Clay; neither Copper nor Tin have been seen in them. The Lead yields about Sixty Ounces of Silver per Ton.
