Soulsby mine

 mine, gold mine

Soulsby mine (aka Churchill; Johnson & Bradbury; Pennsylvania; Platt & Gilson)

Discovered either in 1852 or 1856, depending on data source. Mining took place at least as late as 1911. The original mine was called the Soulsby, which was later consolidated with several other adjacent mines (Johnson and Bradbury, Platt, Gilson, Churchill). It is the largest producer in the East Belt of gold mineralization. Despite this standing, there is relatively little easily available information on this deposit. Workings include underground openings. Workings consist of several shafts with associated drifts and some crosscuts. It may have reached a maximum vertical depth of about 750 feet. There are 2 main shafts at 800 and 900 feet deep by 1890, with extensive drifting and stopes.
