race and that is being used by Mr. Grant’s party. The northern drainage 
runs into Royal Park Creek which empties itself into Koetong Creek from 
the west side above Koetong, while to the south-west a creek rises that 
flows into Dry Forest Creek.

Dry Forest Creek. 
The workings on this creek are about 3 miles a little south of west from 
the Annandale claim; height about 2,000 feet above sea-level. 
n. tail race has been blasted through a granite bar so as to work the 
alluvial wash in the flat above and a few chains further up the pipes for 
a hydraulic plant are laid down the hill, but were not in use. The material 
to be dealt with consists of angular and sub-angular creek wash of recent 
age and from 5 to 10 feet in depth. The bottom is decomposed granitic 
rock with much silvery mica. This ground could probably be worked more 
profitably by a co-operative party with a small pump. The tin ore found 
here is remarkably well rounded and of brown colour. It is of good 
quality and of small grain.

At Burrowye Creek, about 5 miles north-east from Koetong, two men 
are working for tin ore. Formerly a considerable quantity of tin ore was 
found on this creek. Altogether there is a wide belt of stanniferous 
country at Koetong, and there should be room for prospectors in this 
district. 
A little gold occurs with the tin ore in this tract, but not in sufficient 
quantities to pay for extraction. 
From Koetong to Berringama the country is granitic rock. Slate and 
sandstone country begin about half-a mile east of Berringama. About 
8 miles east of Koetong the road passes over the highest point, about 
2,600 feet above sea-level. Berringama is about 1,400 feet above sea- 
level . 
At Burrowye (Mrs. Shelley’s) the creek has been worked for about 
2 miles along its course for stream tin. At the head of Boundary Creek, 
Berringama, a hydraulic plant was erected but was not a success. *
