MANGANESE DEPOSITS OF INDIA : DESCRIPTIVE. [PaRT IV : 
From the above it will be seen that the ores can be classified into man- 
ganese-ores of fairly good quality, except for phosphorus ; and very 
siliceous manganiferous iron-ores. The quantity of either obtainable is, 
however, small ; and considering all the features of the case, it seems im- 
probable that these occurrences can be turned to profitable accoimt for 
export purposes, except possibly at times of very high prices, such as 
obtained in 1907. Should it be foimd possible, however, to use the 
ores locally under circumstances in which phosphoric ores are not 
objectionable — such as in the manufacture of basic steel — in which the 
manganiferous iron-ores could also be turned to account, then these 
occurrences might be profitably worked. 
The output figures given for this district for 1907 are 
Outimt. p 11 
as follows : — 
Long tons. 
Gitilpi 1,30-4 t Madliu Lall Duugar Mining 
Tutugutu 2,229) Syndicate. 
Kalenda ..... 400 Jambon & Cie. 
3,933 
But this includes 1,000 tons estimated as the output fcir years 
previous to 1907, mainly 1906. 
During 1907 the Madhu Lall Doogar Mining Sjoidicate is said to 
have railed some 1,600 tons of manganese-ore from Chakardharpur 
Railway Station, Bengal-Nagpur Railway ; of this 300 to 400 tons 
were obtained from Gitilpi and the remainder from Tutugutu. The 
average manganese contents was not, however, greater than 40 per 
cent., and it is doubtful if the sum realized for this ore can have paid 
expenses. The ores that I saw lying at the railway station and 
Tutugutu, were not selected and dressed to the quality of the 
stocks I sampled in 1905 ; had they been, the quantity of ore won 
wovdd have been very much less. 
In addition to the analyses given above I have 13 analyses of hand- 
specimens of ores from this area, kindly supplied by Mr. C. Aubert. 
The limits and average value of each of the four principal constituents 
are shown in the following table :—
