  It

  being 
  too 
  poor

  in 
  quantity 
  and 
  

   quality 
  to

  workable

  G. 
  J. 
  Nicholls, 
  C. 
  S. 
  (Records, 
  Vol. 
  XII, 
  p. 
  173), 
  speaks 
  of 
  an 
  iron 
  mine 
  "2£ 
  miles 
  

   from 
  Sontalai, 
  near 
  the 
  Machak 
  river/' 
  Kajberi 
  is 
  at 
  the 
  same 
  distance 
  from 
  Sontalai, 
  but 
  

   is 
  on 
  the 
  Anjan. 
  The 
  mines 
  alluded 
  to 
  are 
  probably 
  different. 
  Mr. 
  H. 
  B. 
  Medlicott 
  identi- 
  

   fies 
  them 
  with 
  those 
  of 
  Karanpura. 
  The 
  neighbourhood 
  of 
  Sontalai 
  received 
  only 
  a 
  very 
  

   cursory 
  examination 
  from 
  me. 
  I 
  was 
  informed 
  by 
  the 
  people 
  that 
  the 
  Kajberi 
  mines 
  

   were 
  the 
  only 
  ones 
  they 
  knew 
  of. 
  The 
  mine 
  referred 
  to 
  is 
  probably 
  the 
  same 
  as 
  that 
  of
