About this time John Hodson moved from Gibbston to dwelling #244. It appears that he took up the lease on the Excelsior mine which was worked out and had been idle for a number of years. Mr Hodson opened up the mine and renamed it the 'Ranfurly' however it did not operate for long.

2272 1909 The mine may have been connected to the 'Lady Ranfurly' mine.

Mr John Hodson opened up a new coal mine which he called the 'Lady Ranfurly' (location #185). This new mine may have been connected to the Excelsior mine underground.
