[Jan. 2 and Feb. 6, 



The old Kelsey Bank yielded much good ore, years ago, in funnel 

 shaped pockets, not continuous. 



No. 23. Little Dry Hollow Banks (see Local Map, fig. 14) are near 

 the crest of the low hill dividing the middle from the north branch of the 

 Dry Hollow. No. 1, is a small hole on a small outcrop reported to have 

 yielded six to eight feet of sandy lump-ore, soon running out No. 2 

 consists of a group of small pits and trial shafts on a slight outcrop. 

 Some ore was got from shafts A., B, and C. The appearances here are 

 not favorable for future mining prospects.* 



No. 24. The Dry Hollow Banks are the central figure in the 

 broad expanse of outcrop which seems to fill the hollow and its three 

 head branches, and to cover the dividing slopes, in many places if not 

 continuously, north of the Railway. They are shown in map, fig. 29.

In the south-east corner of this map, the railroad (iurve ought to have 

 been designated, the distance of the track from the principal excava- 

 tion A, being less than 400 yards. 



The cut on the south side of the township road is pictured by Mr. 

 Harden, in fig. 28 ; that on the north of the road in fig. 30 ; and the 

 road itself in fig. 31 ; the wash-ore in the R. R. cutting at the curve, 

 south of the banks, is shown in fig. 32.

* Mr. Booking reported some years ago that these works merely won small veins and 

 top ore, while the body of ore is undoubtedly left under the little ponds, &c., at the foot 

 of the hill. Good ore used to be raised from the Little Dry Hollow Bank, but efforts to 

 " recover the vein " some few years ago failed, although the ore here rides to the top of 

 the hill, where it is pipe-ore (as it also is pipe-ore on the northern side of the hill).
