K 1 30 AUSTRALIA coal, platinum, diamonds, and other valuable mineral products will be discovered on his arrival. There is nothing to distinguish the workings at Ballarat, with their clay-slate, quartz-rock, iron sandstone, and broken ridges and ravines, from thousands of localities in the province, presenting similar internal and external struc- ture. Roughly stated, a section of a working shows under the superficial soil : 1 . Red fer- ruginous earth and gravel; 2. Streaked yel- lowish and re...d clay; 3. Quartz-gravel of moderate size; 4. Large quartz pebbles and boulders, and masses of ironstone set in very compact clay, hard to work ; 5. Blue and white clay ; 6. Pipeclay ; below which none of the workings have yet been successfully carrried. Although such is the general order of the strata, its proportions and inclination are very variable ; in some workings the pipeclay may be reached at a depth of eight or ten feet, in others not at thirty, or more. Indeed, it rarely occurs that two workings, however ap- AS IT IS.
