  Katkut

  and 
  Barwai 
  (Holkar) 
  — 
  

  

  (a) 
  Deserted 
  village 
  of 
  Mendikhaira 
  (lat. 
  22° 
  22', 
  long. 
  

  

  76° 
  14'). 
  The 
  mines 
  in 
  the 
  neighbourhood 
  are 
  numer- 
  

   ous, 
  and 
  much 
  deeper 
  than 
  usual 
  (25 
  to 
  50 
  feet). 
  

   They 
  are 
  like 
  the 
  Bhaurikhera 
  mines 
  along 
  the 
  fault- 
  

   line 
  bringing 
  the 
  Vindhyan 
  sandstones 
  against 
  the 
  

   Bijawars. 
  

  

  (b) 
  Andharibag 
  (deserted), 
  (lat. 
  20° 
  23', 
  long. 
  76° 
  14'). 
  The 
  

  

  pits 
  here 
  are 
  deep 
  and 
  numerous.

  The 
  ore 
  (which 
  is 
  among 
  the 
  richest 
  

  

  in 
  the 
  whole 
  country) 
  was 
  discovered 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Mitander, 
  

   the 
  Swedish 
  metallurgist 
  in 
  charge 
  of 
  the 
  now 
  defunct 
  

   Barwai 
  works, 
  and 
  the 
  place 
  where 
  it 
  occurs 
  was 
  in 
  

   consequence 
  named 
  Mitanderpur. 
  The 
  ore 
  occurs 
  in 
  a 
  

   valley 
  among 
  metamorphosed 
  rocks, 
  which 
  in 
  the 
  map 
  

   are 
  coloured 
  as 
  metamorphics, 
  but 
  may 
  be 
  Bijawars.

  (e) 
  The 
  mines 
  at 
  Nandnia, 
  from 
  which 
  a 
  large 
  quantity 
  of 
  

  

  ore 
  was 
  raised 
  for 
  the 
  Barwai 
  works, 
  are 
  in 
  Bijawar 
  

   breccia. 
  They 
  are 
  deep, 
  and 
  were 
  partially 
  filled 
  with 
  

   water 
  when 
  I 
  visited 
  them 
  late 
  in 
  October 
  last 
  year 
  

   (1882).

   VII.— 
  Bag 
  (Sindhia)— 
  

  

  The 
  mines 
  of 
  Bag 
  have 
  long 
  been 
  celebrated. 
  They 
  are, 
  as 
  

   usual, 
  in 
  the 
  Bijawar 
  formation, 
  and 
  were 
  worked 
  to 
  

   depths 
  not 
  less 
  than 
  50 
  feet.
