Fig. 38. 
As indicated in section, fig. 38, the coarser sandstones are full of 
ferruginous joints and veins which terminate or thin out at certain beds. 
This fact looks unfavorable to the downward continuation of the main cross 
vein for any considerable distance, but the bulged portion of the vein has 
a north-westerly pitch and may continue in that direction. 
Mr. Cunningham informs me that more work will be done on the pitch 
of the stone.

Additional Prospecting. 
Locality Xo. i.— Good prospects of flour gold were obtained by 
loaming near a surface outcrop 2 chains south-east of the western boundary 
fence of allotment Xo. 132B. Xo work has been done on this outcrop, 
but I procured specimens showing white lenticular patches which proved 
on blow-pipe examination to be antimony oxide, although Messrs. Cunning¬ 
ham informed me that thev knew of no occurrences of antimony ore on 
tneir ground.
