discovered these had had trouble with her
head for some weeks, hut did notatfirst think
of her switch continuing the cause. The
hack of her head was pdnetured and sore.

first led Hall to turn his attention TO that dis
trict. where he soon found proof OF the truth
Of tho Indian reports, IN large quantities OF
Quartz powders, some OF them measuring
about two feet thick, aid showing as much
gold as any that have been found in the pro-
vince. Tracing these powders 10 a ncrther-
II direction over a moderately sized hill. they
were found to disappear at the foot of the
northern declivity. near the edge of swamp.
Here HALL commenced driving q tunnel six
feet high and four feet wids, back into the
hi.l, at q depth OF about seven feet from the
surface. lie had not proceeded far with this
work when be struck o beautiful vein of
quartz nine inches thick. showing visible gold
ard close to it (seperated only by thin slab
of slate, not more than quarter of an inch
thick a small lead, one inch thick, but very
rich--to all appearance being capable cf
yielding at least from three to fur ounces of
gold per ton. Tunneliug little further he
came upon O belt Of mixed quartz and slate,
and rich quartz leads, varying from fifteen in
ches to two inches .hick, all showing the pre-
cious metal. Behind this was a solid wall of
quartz. six feet thick, which, however, does
not show any visible gold--but working it
over and continuing the tunnel, it was found
that the belt of mixed quartz and slate ex-
tended breadth of fifteen feet beyond the six
feet wall of solid quartz, and that this part Of
the belt contained fourteen leads Of quartz
VARYING from two feet to one inch in thickness
all showing visible gold.
In this extraordinary belt, including few
outlying leads alongside of IL, have been found
thirtv-two leads in breath of forty-one feet.
Tn order to test it Hall went eastward along
the belt distance Of fifty feet from the tun-
mel; there he opened trench ten feet long.
FIVE feet wide. and two seet deep, and had the
satisfaction Of picking upa considerable guam
tty of gold frou the stuff taken out of tbs
trench, without any breaking up of the quartz.

the powder used in blasting. This trench

largest eleven inches thick. the next six in
ches thick. then one four inches thick, and
the remaining two averaging two inches thick
all showing visible gold. At this point these
leads were larger than where they were first
exposed in the tunnel fifty feet to the west.
