^{page 246 note 1} It may be mentioned that the so-called No. 2 Big-ben, at the 198-fathom level, is about 15 feet in width, and is extremely rich in the ores of copper at this depth; the specimens exhibited on the table were recently taken from that level, and there is nothing in the aspect of the lode, either in its course or depth, to show diminution of produce or yield. It may not be out of place here to state also that the Bearhaven mines are said to have returned upwards of £2,000,000 sterling since commencing operations; Ballycummisk, situated in the area under description, £50,000; and Coosheen £22,000, the latter from operations above the adit.
