with stibnite (antimony sulphide), which occurs as dark streaks or 
crystal clusters. Three auriferous shoots have been profitably mined— 
(1) The Union shoot, a footwall shoot pitching north. 
(2) Day’s shoot, a footwall shoot pitching north. 
(3) The Whim shoot, a hanging wall shoot pitching north to 
vertical. (Plate IX.) 
Of these shoots, the Whim has been the richest, and in the Xo. 8 
north level the Day’s and Whim shoots overlapped, giving a double reef, 
one on each wall of the dyke. In length, the payable quartz has been 
over 250 ft. in certain of the levels. 
The bedded quartz veins are frequent above the 700-ft. level, 
especially at the 312-ft. and 414-ft. levels. The slide faults occur in 
the larger ones, the Xo. 
3 slide fault showing a 
double 7-in. bedded vein 
with black slate between 
(Fig. 49). The nar¬ 
rower i-in. to 1-in. 
bedded quartz veins 'are 
seen in several levels to 
abut on the dyke walls, 
with a slight downward 
drag. (See Transverse 
Section, 500-ft. level, 
PI. IX.). It follows 
that the series of bedded 
quartz veins, between 
any two fault slides, 
must meet the dyke walls 
also on a northerly 
pitch, thus those seen in 
the 312-ft. aud 414-ft. 
cross-cuts would meet 
the dyke at the Union 
shoot 'above those levels, 
but meet Day’s and the 
Whim shoots down to 
the 600-ft. north level. It therefore seems possible that a series of these 
veins may have had some bearing on the auriferous shoots, an enrich¬ 
ment already having been noted in the neighbourhood of the slide faults, 
which are on the larger bedded veins. The several auriferous vertical 
reefs, such as Grant’s and Rechter’s, m'ay also have had some bearing 
on the shoots, but their relation could not be seen, except at the 
312-ft. level.

Workings. 
'Some of the old drives were closed to inspection, but details were 
obtained throughout the lower levels with good sections in all the 
cross-cuts. The levels driven by the present company are at 312 ft.,
