and it dips eastward at a low angle. The reef is up to 7 feet wide and 
3 feet was removed for crushing. It has been faulted and thrown E. on 
going S. The W. Germania reef may be the faulted portion of the Ger¬ 
mania reef. Altogether this reef has been worked at intervals for over 
half-a-mile. The reef worked to the S.E. from the W. Germania shaft 
strikes N.W. and dips N.E. at 20 deg. The strike of the country rock, 
which is yellowish altered slate and sandstone, is N. 20 deg. W., dip 80

Section on West Side of Dredge Paddock, Stony Creek. 
Stony Creek, Hall’s Gap, Grampians. 
Alluvial gold is being dredged for at this site and is considered to be 
derived from the grano-diorite which crops out below the Grampian sand¬ 
stone. Mr. Whitehead of Stawell showed me some small pieces of gold, 
weighing from half a dwt. to- 1 dwt. each, which were quite sharp on the 
angles and of local origin. Small particles of a white mineral, which 
proved to be calc-spar, were attached to the gold. The occurrence of gold 
associated with calc-spar is not usual in this State, and it'would imply that 
a matrix of that nature has to be searched for in tracing the gold to its 
source in the grano-diorite. 
Sloane and Scotchman’s Mine. 
The general strike of the Ordovician beds at Stawell on the N. side of 
the town where this mine is situated is about W. 30 deg. N. The great 
anticline would pass to the northward of the shaft, and the quartz bodies 
worked are portions of the S.W. leg of the Scotchman’s saddle reef. The 
channel is continuous, but bodies of quartz are not continuous in the 
channel.
