Hi list,
Thank you all for the information on the Phoenix Mines.
During our holiday I bought Peter Stanier’s book, The Minions Moor and the
full serie of “Exploring Cornish Mines”. I only can confirm: these books are
good!
A very good website on the Caradon mines must also be mentioned.

As Mr Russell Bennett said: History is complex, Mineralogy too... but both
are worthwhile to discover!
It is just a pitty that I live on the other side of the channel and that we
only have the occasion to visit these area’s during this short period of
holiday.
Two things are for sure: Phoenix may count for us in for a new visit next
year, and South Wheal Francis doesn't exist at Minions!
Regards,
De Nul, Richard
