The analysis demonstrates the worthlessness of the ore and shows 
that the sample contained 30 per cent, of quartz. The combined silica 
was probably present largely as spes.sartite and rhodonite, perhaps 
about 15 per cent, of these minerals being present, leaving 55 per cent, 
for the psilomelane (and a little braunite). 
At R there is a very low hillock about 100 yards long and 30 broad. 
It shows no rhodonite, being entirely of gondite, with some brown 
cherty rock formed by the silicification of the manganese-rock. Here I 
could not find any material worth assaying. 
The specimen of gondite of which an analysis is given on page 349 
was obtained from the outcrop in the nala immediately to the west of 
Wagora village. (Also see Plate 11, fig. 2).

(See Plate KK) 
This village, marked on the 1-inch niap as ' Gowaree Wandona ', is 
about f mile south-west of Khairi. The ore-deposit occurs to the north- 
west of the village, and Mr. P. N. Datta in the season of 1893-94 found 
fragments of ore scattered on the ground there, though he did not see the 
ore in situ. . The late Mr. A. M. Gow Smith in 1903 independently 
discovered the deposit, and located it by means of pits and two outcrops 
seen in nala-beds. The accompanying sketch-plan (Plate 40, fig. 1) 
shows the position of the ore-band and of the pits and trenches. The 
deposit has been thus proved for a total length of nearly 1,600 feet. Its 
average thickness seems to be 5 J to 6 feet, with a strike of W. 35° N., and 
a dip to the south side of the strike at an average angle of about 50° 
The ore-band seems to be composed of very good material, being best 
at its north-west end, as seen in pit 1, where it is crystalline in two or three 
varieties, and is — like the whole of the deposit — divided by planes parallel 
to the bedding so as to cause the ore to separate into tabular pieces 
averaging 1 to 2| inches in thickness, but ranging between \ and 4 inches.
