Javali Mine Lode Description by Dr Seemann
Dr Seemann describes the Javali mine as a 200 by 1000 varas strip with a central ridge forming the lode. Water power is supplied by the Javali river with a 150 ft leap, aiding drainage and ventilation for efficient ore transport to mills. The Socorro workings reach about 150 ft below the surface, with 10 pores and bancos, and the ridge enables levels far below existing workings.

Javali lode could fuel long term mining at river’s edge
A detailed assessment argues the Javali vein offers vast, near inexhaustible ore access from a high eastern ledge to the Javali river. It notes drainage benefits, a favorable river-based site for large scale operations, and ore quality improving with depth, with estimated tonnages and potential yields of about 1 oz per ton.

The Aboriginal Race in Australia and Civilisation
The piece argues that Aboriginal Australians are a race without religion and near-brute, unfit for civilisation due to climate and scarce edible plants. It contends New Holland’s dryness limited progress, notes nardoo as a food failure, and claims even centuries of existence imply only low civilisational attainment comparable to earlier European climates.
