Crosby; and to Mr. Moses Joy, of New Haven, Conn., for several interesting specimens of ore from the pros peets. Mr. F. L. Hess made a short visit to this district. In 1913, and has kindly placed his notes and specimens at the disposal of the writer. The Irish Creek tin district is in an isolated part of the Blue Ridge of Virginia. The nearest post - offices are Irish Creek, which is a short distance west of the tin deposits, and Montebello, in Nelson County, a few miles east of them. The district can be reached by roads that are passable except in very bad weather. The old mine may be reached from Arrington, on the Southern Railway, by a drive of 2-9 miles, or from Vesuvius, on the Norfolk and Western Railroad, by a drive of 12 miles. Accommodations may be had at the house of Mr. Sam Cash, about a mile west of the mine. In May, 1917, a logging railroad was under construction from the mouth of Irish Creek to a point near Irish Creek post - office.
