Then, as time went on, in the early part of 1896, another trumpetblast went forth to the world which heralded another era in local the old quartz-miners had their notions upset. Certain stonewas being thrown away as mullock which scientific mining engineersproved to be valuable ore, an ore of rare occurrence, hitherto only foundin payable quantities in America and Transylvania. This was orecarrying telluride of gold. Would it be proved to exist in payablequantity or only as a deterrent associated mineral ? The mineral was THE KALGOORLIE OOLD-FIELD. 47 first noted as occurring, associated with calcite, at the Block 45 mine,situated near the Hannans Brown Hill mine. Subsequently it wasfound in other mines of the district, either disseminated finely throughwhat was apparently country-rock, quite apart from the quartz-veins orreefs, or occurring in small splashes and veins in the stone.
