Extract

By the kindness of Mr. A. H. Bromly, Manager of the Choukpazat Gold Mining Company's mines at Choukpazat, Wuntho, Upper Burma, I have received a few hand-samples of the veinstuff from these mines. The vein runs in clay slate or ehloritic slate, parallel apparently to the bedding, with a strike north-east to south-west, and a dip of 20° to 25° to the south. The veinstuff, to judge from the samples submitted to me, consists of white, somewhat saccharoidal quartz, with some calcspar, and contains iron pyrites, alsenieal pyrites, visible free gold (rather pale in colour and apparently rich in silver), and the mineral that forms the subject of the present note.
