The southern slope of Mineral Hill contains a great number of prospects, on some of which much work has been done, though all operations were suspended in 1903. These prospects are almost wholly confined to the area covered by breccia. The rock shows strong evidence of mineralization in places, being bleached and impregnated by carbonates and pyrite. The Roanoke shaft is located on the reservoir ridge immediately north of the town, and sunk to a depth of 375 feet, water now standing 308 feet below the collar. It is reported that a well defined north-south vein was encountered, containing some ore.
