THE KYAUKANYA-PENE10HAUNG MINES. 281 



east, south 10° west, with dips of 60° to 68° towards the east. The 



upper portion of the hill is now practically exhausted. In 1915 



a series of cross-cuts had been driven into the hillside at various 



levels to intersect the veins, which were then driven on. The 



more important of these, starting from the bottom, were numbered 



35 33 15, 1-1-A and 11. The vertical distances between them 



we're as follows ; between 35 and 33 about 180 feet, between 3:5 and 



15 about 176 feet ; between 15 and 11-A about 25 feet ; and between 



U-A and 11 about 20 feet. The veins in the upper levels proved 



profitable to work for a time but as deeper levels were opened up 



the enterprise became unremunerative and all underground work was 



abandoned. Small quantities of concentrates continue to be won 



by ground-sluicing the top of the hill. The necessary water is 



lifted a height of 700 feet through a pipe line about a mile long by 



a steam-driven pump on the Maungmeshaung stream. 



The Kadando vein.— This vein crosses the eastern portion of 

 the Kadwe lease into Kyaukanya. It is well exposed on the Ilennyin- 

 gyi road about a mile above the Maungmeshaung bridge, where 

 it leaves the Kadwe lease and enters Crisp's concession. In Kadwe 

 it varies from 3 to 5 feet in width, has a vertical dip and strikes 

 a few degrees either east or west of north in different places. It 

 has been traced for many thousands of feet and is the longest known 

 vein of the district. It is remarkable for the large amount of 

 sulphides it carries in addition to wolfram. 



Crisps Concession.— On the south side of the .Maungmeshaung 

 stream, Crisp's Concession stretches along the Peneichaung hills 

 from Yewaing to Pagaye, a distance of nearly five miles. Originally 

 taken out in 1910, this property is now under a 30-years' mining 

 lease which dates from 1911. It has an area of 1,561 acres. Its 

 production has been as follows : —

Wolfram-bearing veins occur in many sections of the property 

 such as Hoon chaung, Kadando, Taungthit, Yebok, Aungdaung,
