With the exception of a magnetite deposit near Beasley (locality
37), Nelson mining division, concerning which no information is avail-
able, the deposits not mentioned in the above table are considered either
to be valueless, or to hold less than 25,000 tons of merchantable ore, or to
be of doubtful value. Even in the case of those deposits considered to be
of doubtful value, few, if any, are thought to contain as much as 25,000
tons of ore; in most cases the value of such deposits remains in doubt
either because the iron ore occurs in such irregular bodies as to forbid
estimating their possible extent, or because though the deposits as now
displayed at the surface do not appear to be of much promise, yet the
distribution and character of the outcrops are such that a possibility remains
that the deposits are of some real value.
