MINE MANAGERS' REPORTS. Nonpareil.—The manager reports the sinking below the level on the TVaiotahl-Cam-bna reef has been In progress. The winze Is beins sunk in quart- with no walls showing. The object in sinking is to test the ore body on its Hownwarn course and to pet the Junction with M.-anatalarl Cross lode lit a greater deptli than has hitherto been effected in this purtic-nhir ]o; ality. The Cross lode has been responsible for making large hauls of specimen stone, and It is reasonable to suppose the same will apply in this case, as the ore body being sunß upon is encased In first-class country refund contains Indications associated with the rich chutes of gold In the past. Me-- Walotnhl. —The mana.er reports that the drive at the low level golnc seaward has been advanced four feet for the week. Tae hanglngwall reef through tlie lirea* Is eighteen Inches wide, aud IOOU3 promising, carrvlng brlcht mineral blends aud stratainatii. A few colours of Rold have beeii •ecu in the quartz. The footwnll lead should Junction with the hanglngwall reef in four or five feet of driving, The country is favourable for making gold, The winze has been connected with the low level and the air Is now good. The reef In the winze Is ten feet in the footwall of our present workings, so It will be seen that this is a different body of ore from the hanglngwall reef which Is now being worked on.
