OUR GOLDFIELDS.

MIKE MANAGERS' REPORTS.

Eureka.—There is nothing fresh to report from the low level. The reef continue!? the same in size, and the prospects are about the Bame as last report. We should be under the run of gold in another fortnight, Sterling,—lam still driving the croascut, and continuing to cut through riba of quartz, from which Lean get fair prospects of gold. Iv the latter part of the week a band of mineral nine inches thick waß-cut through, which I am having assayed in order to ascertain its value. I have driven eight feeb since last report. In the present face the formation has slightly changed, having become mixed with black manganese seams, which carry a fair prospect -of gold by the dish test. Katie;—l have taken the levels made mention of in my last, and in doing so with the rude instrument at my command I find there are, or rather would be, jOlt to drive from where Mr Charles knocked off to cut the reef. Thirty-five feeb of this has already been driven, making a total of 95ft, the distance driven by Mr Charles being 60fb, no.t 70ft as mentioned by him. The backs overhead will be 70ft or thereabouts where the reef will be intersected, and about the lattsr end of next week should see the reef to hand. The country rock is all thab could be desired. 1 may also mention that operations have started on the Atkins Freehold property,' which ought to aeeisb things bera materially. Karangahake. — The manager telegraphed to-day: "Am meeting with rubble and small epacimens in iNo. 4 similar to Monday's assay." South British. —The manager telegraphed: "Have Glasgow reef in South British boundary."
