WELCOME JACK.
During the week i'he drive on No, 1 lead has'been extended live- feet, making a total of 141 feet driven. The lead is eight inches wide and gives good prospects of coarse gold, whilst in the hangingwall there, is sc soft senm one to three.inches wide which b'hows gold freely and gives a big prospect in the dish. The crosscut is now in 22 feet. Another small lead has been cut about one inch, thick, and IS inches from the lead cut Oil Tuesday. ' The manager thinks this will prove to be No. 2 lead, the stone being similar. It looks well, but curries very little gold.
