These analyses agree with those made by the Imperial Institute in 
pointing to a progressive deterioration in quality on passing from the 
Ponia to the Jamrapani end of the band. 
A little quarrying had been carried out at the time ot my visit (March 
The working of the 1904) on the north ends of West and East Hill, 
^^vo^^^- where some 600 tons of ore had been stacked' 
This ore included both the fine grained braunite-psilomelane mixture and 
the coarsely crystalline facetted braunite with only subordinate psi- 
lomelane. Consequently the sample taken from these stacks (see ana- 
lysis No. -52, page 704) indicates a higher proportion of braunite 
49 per cent.) than -jsaal for this set of ore-bands. By working all the ore- 
bands a large quantity of merchantable ore could be obtained, and 
by careful cleaning, and mixing thp ores from various parts, this ore
