The Stanley River tin field is 20 miles north of Zeehan, Tasmania, on the west 

 coast. A road has just been finished which makes it accessible. Country rocks are 

 quartzites and clay-stones cut by porphyritic granite. Porphyritic feldspars in many 

 places have been replaced by green tourmaline and this, in turn, partly replaced by 

 SnOo. One tourmaline-quartz lode 16 feet wide carries 2 per cent tin. Boulders in 

 river are probably worth working. Wolframite and monazite form impurities in the 

 stream tin. Notes the occurrence of pjTrhotite carrying a " small proix>rtion of 

 Cu and Ni." Map gives geology, claims and owners. 



Gives some objections to the government's system of renting claims.
