TIN-MINING IN NORTH QUEENSLAND, 
381 
Herberton convex and concave buddies are used. At tbe Bischoff 
Mill, Watsonville, revolving tables are in favour; and, at Irvinebank, 
Frew vanners and stationary round tables. “ Dollying”— the process 
by which the last heavy slimes are eliminated, by mixing the ore in 
tubs, and subsequent percussion — is the last stage in the work of dress- 
ing. The dressed ore is then dried, and put into bags of about 1 cwt. 
each, and sent to market. 
At Irvinebank, the Irvinebank Tin Company have established 
a smelting furnace, at which most of the ore raised in that locality is 
smelted. The larger proportion of the product of the district has 
hitherto been exported to Sydney and smelted there, only a very 
limited quantity having been sent to England. 
In the year 1893 there were 783 men employed in lode and 
alluvial tin mining in the district.
