favorable belt, as good prospects were obtainable over a height of 40 ft. 
from the bottom of the winze below the 240-ft. level, at the time of 
this inspection.

(Scale—100 feet to 1 inch.) 
The southern shoot of gold-bearing stone at the 200-ft. level appears 
to me to be on a line parallel to the northern shoot, roughly forming a 
hanging wall and foot wall of a fissured belt from 10 ft. to 30 ft. in 
width, and across which counter-lodes occur. Such a counter-lode was 
followed north-westerly at the 200-ft. and 240-ft. levels, connecting the 
two formations. This counter-lode dipped northerly at from 40° to 
45°, and more rapidly than the gold shoot, the true pitch of which 
has not yet been ascertained, but appears to be nearly vertical from the 
stope plan. 
Future operations should lie in the direction of prospecting the 
proved formations, and should comprise a drive southerly on the lode 
track at the 240-ft. level, starting at a point 45 ft. to the south of the 
winze. This will prove the reef south of the intersection of the
