It will be seen that the figure given for 1903 does not agree with the state- 
ment on page 849, according to which 15,000 tons were extracted in 1903. 
I have had the greatest difficu Ity in getting even, the above figures ; for all 
records of the output for 1903 and 1904 seem to have been lost ; but the 
discrepancy is probably due to that portion of the ore extracted during 
1903, but not carted away, having been included in the 1904 figures. 
2. Gumgaon. 
(Central Provinces Prospecting Syndicate.) 
{See Plates 24 and 25.) 
This deposit is held on a mining lease by the Central Provinces Pros, 
pecting Syndicate and forms a hill, the west end of v/hich is about 100 
feet to the east of the new road from Patansaongi to Khapa. This hill 
forms the boundary between Khsipa and Gumgaon village areas. A plan 
of it is shown in Plate 25. Geologically it may be said to consist of 
three parallel bands of rock having an average dip of about GO*^ to the 
S.10°E. : — 
(1) A southern band having the general strike of the rocks of this 
hill, namely E.10°N. This band is the ore deposit and is 
exposed for 1 ,200 feet along the strike and is 300 feet wide for a 
great portion of its length. Along the northern boundary the 
predominant rock is spessartite-quartz-rock. Of this 300 feet only 
about 50 feet represents ore in .situ, the remainder being loose 
ore fragments covering the ' country ' to south of the ore-band.
