NEW CORNISH POINT MINES
Mr M. Moye, manager New Cornish Point mines,, reports under date August. 25 as follows;—For the past week the south level has been advanced 17ft and timbered, making the total distance 153 ft from the bottom of the incline. 'The rock bottom is now up to the roof of the level. The level was turned in a westerly direction, or towards the river, and driving continued with the high bottom on the south side of the drive. The country consists of loose schist boulders intermixed with sand and gravel, the values being of low grade. From indications at this point it appears that the south side of the channel is reached. Owing to the probability of meeting an increase in the quantity of water to be dealt with, work in this section will be suspended in the meantime and continued in the eastern area. Driving has been commenced from the level in the centre of the channel in an easterly direction in alluvial country.
