The whole of this belt of country is covered with mining conces- 

 sions and although lhe great majority of the occurrences are small 

 and do not lend themselves to large scale development, they have

 plain and produced a large quantity of concentrates in the aggregate 

 over a number of years.

In the main working place the mineralised zone is about 800 

 feet across and it contains at least II veins varying in thickness 

 from a few inches to three feet. They strike approximately north 

 10° west, south 40° east and dip at high angles to the north-east. 

 The country cook is granite and the veins are erratic and low grade. 

 Cround-sluicing is carried on the rains. The veins cany down into 

 the hard granite but here as elsewhere under similar conditions 

 they are unworkable by local tribute methods.
