AURIFEROUS QUARTZITES OF PARHARDIAH. 7 1 



After a comparison of my specimens with those containing visible 

 gold, reputed to come from No. 3 shaft, I have little doubt that these 

 rich specimens did in reality come from the property, as the quartz 

 is of closely similar nature and their sections, cut from both rocks, 

 were found to have an identical microscopic structure ; but personally 

 5 did not obtain specimens carrying visible gold.
