Two chains higher up the Creek, a three feet seam of co 
a waterhole. At the northern boundary fence of the Selection (still higher up the 
Creek), a hard bright coal-seam of good quality, three feet thick, can be seen in a

On the western slope of Mount Bopple the Coal Measures are altered by contact 
with the mass of micaceous granite of which the western slope of the mountain consists, 
and graphite is met with in a shaft. The following are Analyses of the graphite by 
Mr. Hands. No. I was a picked sample, and No. 2 was made up of the pieces of the 
shale and bands of graphite taken from over the whole section : —
