JABALPUR : BHATADON,

A portion of the ores noticed by Mallet under the heading of 
Khatola (Kuthola) belongs to this area. Within this mauza are found 
psilonielane, pyrolusito, and nianganiferous hematite ; but none of them 
seems to be of any value, as far as one can judge from surface indica- 
tions. Along the south base of the hill to the east o f the Mirzapur 
road there are a number of murram quarries. Underneath the surface 
gravel a section was exposed showing 6 to 8 feet of vertical friable 
sandy quartzites, with some pyrolusite bands, probably formed by the 
replacement of the silica, and often continuous from the top to the 
bottom of the section, disappearing at the bottom beneath the soil. 
The analysis of a sample (No. 68) taken here is given on page 813. 
From this it will be seen that, even if the ore were present in quantity, 
it would probably be too poor to be worth working under present 
circumstances.

The small hill just to the west of the village is, as far as one can 
judge from loose fragments, composed of red jasper, with some of grey 
and brown colour, and also some thin films of micaceous hematite in some 
of the red jasper. I had the pits dug by Mr. Bose at the south foot of 
this hill opened up. From two of these I took sample A. 6 of which an 
analysis is given on page 814. The pits did not offer any hope of any 
considerable quantity of pyrolusite being present.

The small hillock on which the ores occur lies about one mile E. S. E. 
of Sihora station, about ?00 yards south of the Hiran river. It is 
composed partly of brecciated Gosalpur quartzite and partly of a lateri-
