The Sink or Swim Reef is about 3 chains east of the Northampton Reef 
and further northward. Very probably it is the continuation of that reef 
beyond a fault. Strike of reef N. 20 deg. W. ; dip E. 80 deg. The quartz 
ranges up to 3 feet thick. Some crushings have been taken out with payable 
results. These reefs have not been worked to any depth. 
The Mountain View Reef is about 10 chains west of the Sink or .Swim 
Reef. Strike of reef N. 25 deg. W. ; dip W. 70 deg. Thickness of 
quartz almost 2 feet. For a length of 300 yards along the outcrop, a 
considerable amount of work has been done many years ago. The country 
rock is vellow and grey sandstone and slate of-favourable appearance. Soil 
red. The reef crosses the beds in dip. The country rock pitches south¬ 
ward and the shoots of gold pitch south also. This reef is not being 
worked at present. There are two tunnels into it. 
The White Bell Reef appears to be the northward extension of the Sink 
or Swim Reef and is being worked by the Messrs. Paul. The outcrop is 
being opened up, and from one crushing of 20 tons 34 oz. of gold was 
obtained. Lower down a crushing of 15 tons of quartz yielded 9 oz. of 
gold. 
There is a belt of auriferous country about 2 miles wide that runs 
between the Buffalo and Ovens River and that crosses the Buckland River. 
From this belt the extremely rich alluvial yields of gold that made the 
Buckland famous were derived. 
In Mr. Wood side’s paddock, Happy Valley, there is a strong and con¬ 
tinuous outcrop of haematite. Mr. Easton is locating the positions of the 
reefs formerly worked in this district.

THE CEDRIC AND SADIE LEASES, WANDILIGONG. 
By J . P. Z. Kenny. 
The Sadie reef is situated on the eastern side of the spur between 
Morse’s Creek and the Western branch of Growler’s Creek. It strikes 
N. 33 deg. W., and dips to the east at 80 deg. The reef is a continuation 
of the Wallaby line, on which are also the London, Myrtle, and Redruth 
workings. The line can be traced northward from the London workings, 
but has not proved auriferous beyond them. In the Myrtle mine the reef 
has been worked to a depth off 800 feet below the surface. This is the 
greatest depth at which payable stone has been obtained in the Wan- 
diligong district. 
About a mile and a half south from the Redruth mine are the Wallaby 
workings. The reef here shows 3 feet of white quartz, with 4 inches of 
laminated quartz on the hanging eastern wall. 
The Sadie mine is about 50 chains south off the Wallaby workings. 
The reef here dips to the west at 82 deg. Quartz spurs traverse the 
country to the east of the reef which is about 1 foot wide. An adit, 
length 210 feer, has been put in to the line, and the reef has been worked 
from the surface down to the adit level. To the north off the Sadie 
workings the reef has not been prospected beyond surface cuts. A drive 
north at the adit level would prove the ground in this direction. 
The Cedric reef is situated near the top of the spur to the west off the 
Sadie reef. The footwall is well defined, and on the hanging wall quartz 
spurs make off from the reef into the country. The reef dips to the east 
at 80 deg. An adit, length 145 feet, has been put into the line, and just to
