At the time of my visit (March 1904) this deposit had not been worked, 
The working of the but there is no doubt that the parts of it in mdlgu- 
dep< sit. ' zdri land would yield a large quantity of high- 
grade ore. It is at present simply a question of communications, the 
nearest railway station being Balaghat, Bengal-Nagpur Railway, 
situated some 17 miles to the east. During 190G the Central Provinces 
Prospecting Syndicate quarried some 6,000 tons of ore at the place, 
but have not yet despatched am' of it. Messrs. Burn & Co. and 
P. C. Dutt (their concession has since been transferred to Messrs. Tata, 
Sons & Co.) are said, however, to have carted a certain quantity of 
Ramrama ore as far as the Wainganga near Balaghat. 
The output for this deposit for 1906 and 1907 is 
as follows : — 
Year Long tons.

This deposit is situated in Covernment reserved forest about 2J 
miles north-north-west of the village of the same name. The outcrop 
is some 550 to 600 paces long and rises near the middle to form a low 
hill It IS crossed at each end by a small nala. The strike at the west 
end is about east, soon curling round to E..')0°S. ' The only dip 
seen was one of 20° to the N.27''W. at the west end of the out- 
crop. The outcrop was too obscure for any measurements of width 
to be made. The immediate wall-rocks of the deposit were not exposed,
