MINING NEWS.
Tui.—No. 3 reef maintains its size and is still carrying nice minerals, but the country rock encasing the reef is too hard for making values. Yesterday I transferred the men to start rising on the No. 2 reef close to the flatsheet to pick up the junction of the small leader that is showing in the crosscut and No. 2 reef. Moanataiari. —The only work done at the bottom of the shaft was crosscutting through' the No." 1 reef north of the shaft. We are going. through at a fairly long angle to keep the shaft intact. The* reef is a very strong' body of ore carrying* zinc blende and a fair amount of iron pyrites. We have not yet reached the hangingwall and we have Bft of quartz on one side of the drive and sft on the other. Some repairs had to be carried out in the main crosscut. . •;■;., . . ,-■» >.
