Homer, the contractor for a track through Ike Greenstone Gorge (Martin's Bay road), will eoraplete his work in about a week. There will then exist a pack track as far as Gunn's Lake. It is considered by competent judges that if tlie money expended upon tlie Lake Harris route had all been expended upon the Greenstone track it would have been sufficient to make a dray road all the way from Lake Wakatip to Martin's Bay by the Greenstone. Tlie elevation is only 800 feet above Lake Wakatip, while by Lake Harris it is 3000. The miners at Big Bay are said to be doing very well. Progress only interrupted by dearness of provisions.
