resources of the Pilbara gold field.

The tin deposits so far worked are all of detrital origin and have yielded con- 

 siderable quantities of ore. The ores examined seem to be free from the deleterious 

 constituents which are known to occur in the Greenbushes tinfield.

Output of Greenbushes and Pilbara fields about 200 tons of tin per annum. In the 

 new Wodgina field, tin always occurs in granite and pegmatite dikes. In pegmatite 

 dikes tin generally occurs along the sides, though sometimes through the mass. Veins 

 are accompanied by mica and tourmaline.

 variety of the deposits and the metallurgical problems to be solved."

Output of tin ore in 1902 was 620 long tons valued at £39,783 as compared with 

 734 tons valued at £40,000 in 1901. Greenbushes alluvial ore carries 40 to 73 per cent 

 tin and is associated with tantalite. Tin diessing plant has been erected in the 

 district by the government as an aid to the mining industry.

cobalt).

Gives notes upon tin ore from Greenbushes field; assays of dressed ore ran from 22.6 

 to 71.3 per cent, averaging 53.8 per cent. 



The reason why some apparently well-dressed ore ran so low was found to be on 

 account of the presence of stibiotantalite. Gives analysis. Notes presence of fine 

 particles of native tin, also zircon, garnet, topaz, and tourmaline.

 stannite.
