of these rolls are roughly shown on the longitudinal section, as indicated 
by Mr. Reilly, mine manager ; their pitch would be apprc aimately 5° N. 
to 10° N. 
Throughout the mine the reef has averaged 1 foot wide, with bulges of 
quartz up to 4 feet wide at some places. The quartz is wide and narrow 
alternately, and consists either of (1) laminated solid quartz with pyrites, 
payable at times, or of (2) “ magpie ” quartz with only a little pyrites and 
more consistently payable. Magpie quartz is quartz with inclusions of slate, 
&c. At times both of these occur together, one on each wall of the reef 
channel. The footwall has generally been the richer and more defined, 
the hanging wall being frequently spurry. The greatest length of the auri¬ 
ferous shoot is said to be 300 feet, and the pitch has been to the south. 
In this upper tunnel-level the reef consisted of magpie quartz, and the con¬ 
taining strata were slates and sandstones dipping to the east. Some of the 
yields as recorded by Mr. Hartrick, legal manager for the company, are as

These yields are from the upper adit-workings. 
Subsequently the present company was formed, and the main bottom 
adit driven a distance of 1,054 feet, cutting the main reef at 1,050 feet, and 
other reefs at 800 feet and 780 feet. 
A drive w T as put in 269 feet north along the main reef, which is here a 
promising reef dipping 65° W. and having a small make carrying 5 dwt. of 
gold per ton at 166 feet, but very little solid quartz until 237 feet, where 
a lot of quartz spurs with pyrites but no gold show for a width of 14 feet.
