ton and 9.5 per cent, of wolfram. The parcel was paid for at 
£4 4s. 6d. nett; the contents being valued, per ton, at £9 3s. 2d. for 
wolfram, and £1 8s. for gold. 
(h) 6 tons treated in December, 1912, at Edward’s works 
yielded 7 dwt. 12 gr. of gold per ton; wolfram, nil. 
(c) 4 tons 15 cwt. purchased in January, 1913, at Edward’s 
works, contained value per ton of 16s. for gold, and £1 13s. for 
wolfram. 
(d) 4 cwt. of picked wolfram stone treated at Jacques, Eisher 
and Company’s works, Melbourne, returned 14 per cent, of wolfram 
concentrates, assaying 56.6 per cent, of tungstic acid, and 1 oz. 
11 dwt. per ton of gold. 
(e) 8 cwt. treated at Edward’s works yielded per ton wolfram 
13s., and gold 7 dwt. 
(/) 5 tons treated in October, 1913, at the School of Mines, 
Ballarat, showed by assay 7 dwt. 3 gr. of gold and 3.8 per cent, of 
tungstic acid. Actual extractions were 127 lb. of wolfram con¬ 
centrates in all, and 2 dwt. 23 gr. of gold per ton. Amalgamation 
was not used in the battery except for the concentrates, and the tails 
contained 4 dwt. of gold per ton. The report states that the tailings 
can be easily cyanided. The gold extracted (14 dwt. 18 gr.) sold for 
£2 19s. 2d.—equal to £4 Is. per oz. 
(g) 5 tons 2 cwt. 3 qr. 16 lb. treated at the School of Mines, 
Ballarat, assayed 5 dwt. of gold per ton, and yielded 3 cwt. of con¬ 
centrates in all. The tails contained 2 dwt. 16 gr. of gold per ton, 
2 dwt. 8 gr. being extracted. The treatment was the same as for (/). 
(h) 6 tons 8 cwt. treated in October, 1913, at Edward’s works 
contained 7 dwt. of gold per ton, and 0.5 per cent, of tungstic acid. 
Mr. Dawson informed me that the above parcels were taken from the 
40-ft., 6Q-ft., and 70-ft. levels of the main shaft, and represent practically 
the whole of the stone extracted; also that, excepting for the wolfram 
tests, the stone was not picked. 
Various samples sent by the owners for assay at the Geological 
Survey laboratory—the particulars of the localities given and the 
sampling are those of the owners themselves—assayed as follows:—

On the assays obtained of samples taken by myself, the lode is cer¬ 
tainly worth further systematic work. Although these samples contain 
little wolfram, it is quite likely that the mineral occurs in pockets, and
