The outcrop of lead and zinc ore which occurs here was accidentally discovered in January, 1902, by Mr. T. G. Davey, while he was prospecting the country for copper, Rising out of the flat surrounding country is a series of low hills or kopjes, the largest of them being about 90 feet in height ; and these consist almost entirely of oxidized ore.
