Vulcan mine, Ilerberton district. North Queensland, has recently developed into one 

 of the most important lode tin mines of the world. It surpasses, as producer and 

 dividend payer, even the famous Mt. Bischoff mine. During 1&05, production was at 

 the rate of 130 tons of black tin per month. Description of mine is from report by 

 Walter E. Cameron, Asst. Gecl. of the Queensland mines department.

" On the 7th January, I left Brisbane to investigate a discovery of tinstone on 

 Brovina Creek, in the Gayndah district. Small quantities of the mineral were found 

 to occur in one branch of the creek, but the prospects were not encouraging, and it 

 is believed that work has now ceased." (Whole reference.)

the South Coast (Queensland).

" At intervals along the Currumbin-Coolangatta Beach, the sands contain payable 

 tin, accompanied by gold. The concentrates, however, assay very, much lower than 

 was expected, and the assays show that the work thus far done for tin has been at a 

 loss, either owing to local poverty of the ground or to the escape of tinstone with 

 the tailings. Nevertheless, the hope is entertained that the ground may yet be 

 proved sufficiently rich for dredging."
