REPORTS OF MANAGERS. Ohin«mUrl.—Following tho long suspen sion of operations in tho Telluridea level, several falls had taken place on resumption of work. Everything ia now clear. The level is in good condition and its extension has been resumed, The Queen, Juliu and Camoola reefs will be intersected in 145 ft of driving. Another ore-body should be met with in about 70ft of driving. In the north section tho north drive is along 843 ft from the main crosscut and a westerly turn is being made with tho object of reaching the hangingwall so as to get in contact with the Silveißtream reefs. Evidence of the proximity of a footwall of a reef crossing north-easterly is showing 'in the present face. The drive south-east on the sulphide ore at sGOft has exposed a strong body. which can be stripped from the main drive and made readily available for stoping. In the south section at 185 ft east of tho main drive the E crosscut has encountered a heavy inflow of water, which has retarded work here until, drninat'o takes place. The results from the metallurgical tests made bv Mr. Noble have been highly satisfactory. Upon completion at the end of this week the preparation of tho design for the new plant will ho put in hand;
