On the occurrence of silver ore in the Perran mine, Perran Uthnoe, Cornwall

Extract

The deposit known as the Wheal Sedgman lode is inclined to the west a few degrees from the vertical, and runs in a direction about 10° W. of N. (magnetic) through the parish of Perran Uthnoe, near Marazion, Cornwall. In its course seawards from the approximately E. and W. lode formerly worked in the Great Wheal Neptune mine, it traverses the North and South Trebarvah tin and copper lodes. It is crossed by the shore-line on Perran Sands, about 500 yards to the west of Trevean cliff. Between that spot and Cuddan Point, to the S.E., where it is again laid bare, it has been superficially removed by marine denudation. The numerous N. and S. diabase dikes of the district show in placts much disseminated pyrrhotite, and one of them runs nearly parallel to the east side, or foot wall, of the Sedgman lode.
