At time of writing, discoveries were limited to drainage area of the upper part of 

 the Severn River. These are swampy beds, intersected by numerous broad bara of 

 granite. The alluvial beds vary in thickness from 3 to 20 feet. Outlook very 

 encouraging; the greatest difficulty to overcome will be the swampy character of the 

 ground, especially during the rainy season.

Geol. Surv. Rep. Queensland, Pub. No. 196, 1905, Brisbane, p. 11. 

 Brief mention of cassiterite, found in the beach sands at the mouth of the Tweed 

 River, with monazite. A concentrated sample yielded 54 per cent of tin.

Geol. Surv. Rep., Queensland, Pub. No. 211, 1907, Brisbane, pp. 21, maps 2, pis. 3. 



Country rock is altered granite, aplite and quartz-felsite. Cassiterite occurs in 

 irregular masses of chlorite and quartz in granite; in quartz veins cutting quartz- 

 felsite.; in chlorite veins in quartz-felsite, granite and aplite; chlorite and greisen 

 veins in granite. There are limited tin placers, and the Desert sandstone is tin- 

 bearing, though in what way is not explained. The total yield is small.

Discusses the geology, the mines, the alluvial deposits and prospects of the Stan- 

 hills district, Queensland. Cassiterite occurs in altered granite, or in close connection 

 with granite, with much chlorite. Galena, zinc blende, chalcopyrite, and graphite 

 occur with the tin. Alluvial deposits occur in the neighborhood around the head of 

 Ten-mile Creek.
