THE FERGUSON COPPER SYNDICATE.
The manager of the Ferguson Copper Syndicate, Whangaroa, reports as follows: The drive which is being put in from the creek on the lodo formation is now in lift from the cutting, and nodules of ore are coming to hand frequently as the driving proceeds. No. 7: I would advise sinking a vertical shaft to intersect at a greater depth, as this lode warrants it. No. 6 block: Tho recent discovery made oil. this block, judging from surface indications, is probably a very large formation. _ Already we have cut into it over Bft, with no signs of walls. The formation thus far exposed contains nodules, and .hows small dabs of copper pyrites.
