  RJH_4879.JPG - Here’s the old adit that bore into the metamorphic volcanic rocks near Bennettville. It reaches nearly a ½ mile into the mountain looking for silver ore near the contact of the granite, but that wealth never materialized. The mine last was worked in 1889 with a brief attempt that never got off the ground in 1933. (from ghosttowns.com).
