OCT. — MAR. 1858-59.] Silver Lead Ores of Kurnool , fyc, 289 



As adapted for these operations, as well as for Public Works 

 generally, I would beg to draw the attention of Government to 

 the Agricultural Locomotive Steam Engines now in great use in 

 England, and to suggest the desirableness of there being one or 

 two in the Government stores to be used on occasions such as 

 those above named ; the design upon which they should be con- 

 structed, would possibly require to be somewhat altered from that 

 in ordinary use in England, to suit the particular circumstances of 

 this country. 



Report on the Silver Lead Ores of Kurnool and other portions of 

 the Ceded Districts. By P. W. Wall, Esq. 



(Communicated by Government.) 



In the previous communication I have had the honor to make 

 in reference to the Lead Ores that had reached Madras, I alluded 

 to the per centage of silver contained in the mineral from one of 

 the localities as being much larger than the average of those ores 

 worked in England and in consequence as being worthy of further 

 attention being directed to. 



The chief point therefore to which my attention has been direct- 

 ed in my investigations, during the past season has been to ascer- 

 tain the circumstances under which the mineral existed, if there 

 were reasonable grounds for presuming it was to be obtained in 

 any quantity, and what were the general conditions under which 

 mining operations would be able to be conducted in the several 

 localities in which it occurred. 



The following are the names of the places visited by me at or 

 near which the mineral under consideration exists. 



Coilcontla in the Dhone Talook of Kurnool, Gazerpully in the 

 Nundial Talook of the same district. 

 Jungumrauzpillay, Village and Ghaut. 



In the Bundwail Talook of Cuddapah and Buswapoor in the 

 Dhoor Talook of the same.
