MINE MANAGERS' REPORTS.
Golconda. —Daring the week the following work lias been in progress:—7oft level: The leading stope was carried along to the rise and it was necessary to timber. There is a mass of quartz in the right-hand wall, on the south end, but very little has yet been broken, and with the underlie the junction of the main and branch reefs is still some distance ahead. A few colours of gold were seen in the ore broken out. In the hanging winze from th£ tunnel level we have holed through to the footwall winze, and it is now obvious that the reef worked on at the intermediate level north is not the main reef. We had to crosscut about 12ft to make the connection in quartz stringers all the way. We will have to continue the 70ft level north on the reef to pick up this formation, as it will be the only way to work it economically. The quarz shows a few colours of gold, silica and zine blende.
