104 TIN DEPOSITS OF NEW SOUTH WALES. 
cited as the only places which have yet been shown to carry tin 
in leads which are worth working. 
- There would seem to be some reason to believe then that these 
different deposits have not been formed by one and the same 
Two Mile and Kangaroo Flat a distance of 15 miles inter- 
venes, which has hitherto proved unproductive, and a barren area 
of equal length exists between Kangaroo Flat and Spring Creek ; 
but, at the same time, it must be borne in mind that the main 
channel may have been missed in the various prospecting shafts 
that have been sunk, and so that leads may yet be discovered. 
In support of this view it may be mentioned that at Rose 
and Gordon’s claims, although, I understand, over £6,000 has been 
expended in prospecting the latter without anything payable 
being struck as yet. 
This lead in Bailey’s claim was found by driving from the old 
workings along a tributary gutter, and when struck a shaft was 
n 
baling. 
The section of the shaft, as given me by one of the proprietors, 
is as follows :——

From. which it will be seen that the basalt is not passed through 
in sinking, although in the same claim, and at a short distance 
only from the shaft, the solid basalt is met with, and isas much as 
80 feet thick.
