[RECO (RFC 24 FEB 19

I have examined many specimens of high-grade

Iron Ore alleged to come from the New Territory, but definite information as to locality was not forthcoming. These

specimens have been either Earthy or Kicaceous Rasmatite, and have shown a content of metallic Iron varying from 55% to 75%.

I might add that we have from time to time examin

-ed specimens of ne

nearky all the minerals mentioned in the

Circular and should be glad if this office could be kept

informed as to Specifications of Minerals required in the

United Kingdom as given in the printed slips accompanying the

Circular, and further that a set of these slips might be

obtained for filing in this Laboratory.

Most of the specimens referred to undoubtedly

came from Chinese Territory, but it might be added that they

were, as a rule, very good of their kind and would have

satisfied the Specifications laid down.
