The quartzseams often show a very fine comb-structure. In the upper levels the ore was oxidized, and extraordinary valueswere frequently obtained from small patches near the surface. In depththe ore is reported to be refractory, and sulphides—pyrite, galena, andblende—become prominent. The individual veins have been described in detail in Bulletin No. 5, Geological Survey. The group also includes the Alta scheelite-vein,which lies about three miles to the east of the main grouj). This seemsanother instance of the segregation of ores. ^^ct.^ O* BENDIGO VEINS Surveys by G. F. Hosking Si-u/f o/
