The rocks here are harsh-looking grey sandstones, which, on being 
broken, are seen to contain much arsenical pyrites disseminated through 
them.

Centre-country, as an anticline, is exposed in the workings at the sur¬ 
face. At 64 feet to the east from centre-country a leg has been worked 
down to a depth of 120 feet on the dip (E.), and from this a considerable 
amount of work has been done underground, and some thousands of tons 
of crushing material extracted, as indicated bv the tailings heap a little 
lower down. At 12 feet to the west of centre-country, a shallow shaft has 
been sunk, and another shallow shaft still further to the west. Southward 
'from the shaft the workings are said to have been extended for about 300 
feet. On the western side of centre-country the dip is 55 deg. W. j on 
the eastern side the dip is about the same to E. The strike of the country- 
rocks is N. 10 deg. W. It is reported that crushing material was taken 
for as much as 30 feet in width in some places, and that the yield was 
about 9 dwts. of gold per ten; but accurate records are not available. 
This locality appears to be a promising one, and a shaft sunk near 
centre-country, with cross-cuts, is required to properlv test the ground for 
saddle reefs and “ legs.” 
A sample of concentrates (arsenical pyrites) obtained from a little heap 
on the ground, on assay, gave— 
Gold, 9 dwts. 3 grs. per ton of sample. 
Silver, a trace. 
A piece of quartzose sandstone, with arsenical pyrites, disseminated 
through it, on assay, gave— 
Gold, a trace. 
Silver, nil.

REPORTS ON GRAPTOLITES.

The greater number of these are quite indeterminate, and in many cases 
I am not sure that the blurred markings represent graptolites at all. Ir 
not a single case is the material such that a specific determination can b 
11120. *
