forZr 1«a ! _.B L top.ea J°in thoee of the wesTfulfv h_?- ju,?otionß- From her* westi mi y 300 feet in engbh by the same anftL 13 r ilab^ u for sfoping ' %££ and thia, ib must be remembered, is ex riff! 8 2 % c block thab should be ava£ Si,Zt*.u°> A T f.S°ing eastward, and ™™* and SaX9n sections of the Company s property. In the former section tbe drive upon the No. 1 reef is opened for a distance of 90 feet and the block over this is now available for atoping. ihe eastern face on the reef is without change ; although charged with an excellent description of mineral, no gold has been seen for bhe lasb 10 feeb ; there is, however, a change in the face, a dry fault i B crossing the lode, which may have the effect of enriching that quartz body. The lode is without exception a magnificent one, and is well worthy of future extensive development. The leading stope is being pushed on, and gold .is frequently seen in the quartz broken. It, however, fails to produce the needful picked stone. This. lam pleased to say, is not the case with No. 2, a few feet away. The drive going west is forward from the crosscut 25 feet, and the face is a network of email veins showing gold freely. Theee are responsible for a few pounds of picked stone. At the time of my last visit there was strong evidence of the country changing to a softer class. What -effect! this will have upon these rich veins time.alone will divulge. There is nothing fresh from the Saxon section to report.
