a shaft has been sunk 30 feet deep on the underlay. The dip here is 
75 deg. N. About 5 tons of galena was got here on the surface in one 
bulge and in the bottom of the shaft 12 inches of solid galena is showing. 
The Central Lode. 
This lode crops out on the south-west, side of the hill and higher up 
than the James’ lode. Three tunnels were driven in towards it but neither 
was driven far enough to cut it. 
The United Lode. 
The workings on this lode are about 1 b miles east of the rivers. Height 
about 1,600 feet above sea-level. The strike of the lode in the tunnel 
is east and west, dip 55 deg. S. The hanging wall is well defined. The 
lode is from 6 to 12 inches thick. The grano-diorite on the footwall side 
has galena disseminated through it for several feet back from the lode. 
This appears to be a branch from the main lode which runs up the hill 
and is traceable to the summit further east. This main lode strikes E. 
20 deg. N., and dips about 65 deg. S. It has been opened up by surface 
trenches for 300 yards from the tunnel in an easterly direction. At 
i\ chains up the hill good galena from ift. 3m. to 2 feet thick is 
exposed in an open cut. This lode has not had much work done on it but 
well deserves to be more fully tested. A shaft would be better than 
tunnelling, as depth from the surface is what is required to show the 
nature of the lode where unaltered. The United is considered to be the 
most southern lode on this field. There are outcrops near the river that 
are considered to< be the continuation of the United lode. 
The Princess Lode. 
The workings on this lode are about three-quarters of a mile north¬ 
west from the United workings and a quarter of a mile east of Snowy 
River. Height about 1,100 feet above sea-level. The strike of the lode is 
east and west, dip 80 deg. S. A shaft has been sunk for a depth of 
55 feet and a winze goes down for another 15 feet from the bottom level. 
There are two shallower shafts further to the east. The lode has been 
worked for a length of 100 feet and many tons of galena have been 
sent away. The lode in the bottom of the winze is 1 foot thick. A fault 
striking north and south and dipping east cuts the lode off and throws it 
for a few feet. 
North Mt. Deddick Lode. 
The strike of the lode is W. 20 deg. N., dip 52 deg. N. The 
tunnel is 40 feet above the level ofi the river and is 100 feet long. The 
hanging wall is well defined but there appears to be little lode material. 
The grano-diorite footwall is impregnated for several feet from the lode 
with iron and arsenical pyrites and galena occurs also. This is on the 
west side of the Snowy River and right opposite the camp. 
About 2J chains higher up the gully and 100 feet higher than the above 
tunnel is a second tunnel 60 feet in length driven on the lode. Close to the 
mouth of the tunnel a winze has been sunk 30 feet deep. There are no well 
defined walls, but there are quartz veins in which galena and copper 
pyrites occur, together with stains of blue and green carbonate of copper.
