Waiotahi G.M.C.-No. 3 Level: Tho dirt coming fo hand from tho stopes on No. 4 and 5 and branch leaders is enwhing very small just now. I met with a few pounds of good picked stone last week from No. 5 stopc. I met with a small loader in the hanging wall of No. 5 stopo ; it shows a little gold, so I havo opened up a small block on it. No, 2 level: The small leader I have been driving on in No. 1 drive east is payable, but the air being light 1 have started driviug on it north, which, by its course, should break through into No. I footwall drive in No, 3 leader—either will do to give ventilation in this part of the mine. I expect the return will be an improvement ou tho last. —J. S. Smith.
