Further prospecting is advisable, and more assays should be taken from 
this formation. 
Locality No. 2.—Fourteen chains to the south-east of locality No. 
1, an outcrop of similar crushed siliceous sandstone and shale occurs. 
Here the antimony oxide is again seen in lenticular patches, and on joint 
faces. No work has been done here, and the outcrop is favorable to 
further prospecting.

•Locality No. 3.—Six chains to the south-east of locality No. 2, a 
prospecting shaft has been sunk about 6 feet on a quartz vein, with a 
ferruginous casing occurring in coarse ferruginous micaceous sandstone 
and thin beds of greenish slate. It is unlike the crushed auriferous 
beds containing the visible antimony oxide.

Locality No. 4.—Six chains south-east of localitv No. 3, a prospect¬ 
ing shaft has been sunk for 6 feet in another outcrop of brown crushed 
siliceous sandstone, grey shale, and ironstone, but as the shaft was full 
of water, no examination could be made.
