Tm LODES AT DEAWS CREEK, BOOOKG. 
By J. P. L. Kenny,^ B.C.E., Assistant Field Geologist. 
Tin-bearing lodes near the head of Dean’s Creek, in the parish 
of Bogong, found by me in what I believe is a new locality, being 
6 miles south-east of the tin lodes at the head of Scrubby Creek. Six 
lodes carrying tin have been located, and on the principal lode surface 
specimens can be picked up for a distance of 3 chains; tbe lode where 
outcropping is 12 feet wide and carries good tin. 
The locality is at an elevation of 3,000 feet above sea-level, but is 
easily accessible by a main spur from Granite Flat and is within a few 
chains of a permanent stream.

THE VICTORY MINE, GLEN WILLS. 
By J. P. L. Kenny, B.G.E., Assistant Field Geologist. 
The Victory mine, Glen Wills, owned by Messrs. Bittner and party, 
adjoins the Maude Reefs Company’s lease on the south and includes the 
old Homeward Bound workings. To the north is Morgan’s reef, a well- 
defined line included in the Maude Reefs Company’s lease. It has been 
worked from the surface down to that company’s No. 5 adit. To the 
south this reef is cut off by a zone of faulted country consisting of three 
separate fault lines, the heave in each case being right handed. On No. 1 
fault the heave is 45 ft. to a block of stone, which was located and worked 
between the No. 1 and No. 2 faults. This stone is on the boundary line 
between the two claims. About 50 ft. to the west stone was cut by 
Bittner and party on the No. 3 fault, and 55 tons were crushed for an 
average yield of 1 oz. per ton. Since this crushing, Bittner and party 
have done a lot of prospecting in the fault zone of country without 
locating any payable stone. 
To the south of Morgan’s reef and the fault zone is the Homeward 
Bound line, which has been extensively worked to shallow depths. I am 
satisfied that this line is the continuation of Morgan’s reef beyond the 
faults. Messrs. Bittner and party have of late been at work on this 
line. They have sunk a shaft to a depth of 122 ft., and connected with 
an old level. 
They have driven on the reef to a point 160 ft. north of the shaft, 
where the reef is cut off by a fault. The reef in this drive is highly 
mineralized, and from 2 ft. to 3 ft. in width. The average assa;y' value is 
14 dwt. of gold to the ton. One small vein 3 in. wide assays 3 oz. 5 dwt. 
of gold and 421 oz. of silver to the ton. 
The stone, on the whole, is not payable, and contains little free 
gold. Above this level the reef appears to have been worked from the 
surface to a depth of about 60 ft. Between the fault in the north face 
of the 122-ft. level there is a distance of 150 ft., in which the reef has 
not been located. I think there is a possibility of finding the reef, with 
payable stone, in this area. 
To prospect the ground, the drive west on the No. 3 fault at the 
4 adit level should be extended, on the south side of the fault, another
