III. 
Great North¬ 
ern Parker’s 
shoot 
Situated about 
24 chains north 
of the Eastern 
Moorarbool R. 
3" to 4" 
4" up to 
10 " 
| 
It is stated that 
many tons were 
crushed for an 
average of 2ozs. 
per ton 
In the south portion of 
this shoot, which extends 
over 300' in length, nearly 
opposite the main shaft the 
stone is stated to have 
averaged 4" in width, and 
to have been stoped from 
180' to the surface ; in the 
north portion the stopes 
are in places from 20' to 70' 
deep. A portion of the 
reef was payably worked 
by tributers to 40', below 
which level good stone is 
reported to have been left. 
The main shaft is about 80' 
west of the outcrop, and has 
been sunk to 240'. At 90' 
an east cross-cut 45' cut the 
reef, and 200' was then 
driven north. At 160' the 
reef passed through the 
shaft, and at 240' a 50' 
cross-cut west cut the reef, 
but no driving was done. 
The shoot is stated to have 
pitched north. Water level 
was 60'. 
IV. 
Jones-Brad- 
ford shoot 
About 24 chains 
north from 
where the Gt. 
Northern 
Parker’s shoot 
was lost 
1 " to 2" 
4" up to 
1 foot 
I 
It is stated that 
the average re¬ 
turn was 2^ozs. 
per ton ; best 
5^ozs. per ton ; 
poorest, lOdwts. 
per ton 
The main shaft is about 
110 ' west of the reef out¬ 
crop, and has been sunk to 
180', passing water level at 
60'. For about 270' along 
the surface the reef has 
been worked to depths of * 
20 ' to 70', and, as stated, to 
180' in the main shaft. In 
the north workings, oppo¬ 
site the main shaft, a cross¬ 
course was met, but the reef 
was hardly, if at all, dis¬ 
placed. I am informed that 
lOdwt. stone was taken out 
north of the cross-course. 
Reported pitch of shoot, 
north. 
Future Work. 
The site for any future work should, I consider, he on the Great Northern 
Parker’s shoot, as here the reef has been most regular, and has already been 
worked to a depth of 240 feet.
