With the exception of the men driving on the leader at No. 3 level (which is not being broken down), all hands are working on Ellia's leader. Moanataiari jßxtknded.— The drive on the leader is 63 feet. The load is about nine inches wide, and bears a favourable appearance. The shaft is down 56 feet below No. 1 level. A leader a foot to 18 inches wide has been passed through. The northern cross-cut is in 84S! feet.

The county nice cannot even supply a sluice head of water for the plates of the Kuranui battery, the Queen of Beauty is using so much :; the' Golden Crown and Imperial are working alternately.

The quartz accumulated will enable ten head to be started. Cambria.—The mine manager reports :— 151bs. of specimens were obtained from a stringer running into the hangingwall of the reef in No. 3 stopes, eastern end. I would recommend a cro as-cut to be put in at No. 1 level into the hungingwall of the reef. At present we require mullock to fill the stapes, and themullook from here could be used for that purpose, ami , prospect this level at the same time. The Prince Imperial Battery has • been stopped two days owing to the scarcity of water,, The stuff at the battery is still shaping fairly. :
