Relubbus Tin Stream was put up fory auction at the Hawkins' Arms, Relubbus on 26 August 1881. The advertisement in The Cornishman newspaper states, that the Tin Stream had been worked successfully for some time by the late Captain Reed of Tregembo. Amongst the equipment for sale was eight water-wheels (five small), 100 ragging self-acting frames, 48 cleaning self-acting frames, a 1,000 feet (300 m) of launders (wooden culverts), etc.[4] The tin stream was auctioned once more on 24 October 1881, this time under the ownership of Edward Mitchell.[5]
