ALPHA.
The. manager reports very satisfactory progress has been made with the extension of the cross-cut at No. 4 level, due to the good character of the country, which is also of the right description for both gold - bearinglodes and speedy working. The crosscut is now. in 118 feet. Five feet back from the present face another promising-looking ore body was met with, showing from 9 to 12 inches of crushing material. According to measurement the lode should be to hand within the next 20 feet of driving if it keeps its present strike. Exploring work is also being done in the western section of the mine.
