In the 1830s John Barratt opened up the mines on an industrial scale, new deep shafts were sunk and the use of gunpowder brought about significant growth. The workforce rapidly increased from 20 men in 1820 to 5-600. A mineral line was opened in 1859 to carry the ore which had previously been boated down the lake. see lot 85]
