Notes from Wakatipn. (From Our Own Correspondent.)
AanovfTows, Apiil 17.— Ther-» is a very gratifying activity iv rniniug as indicated by the great number of applications for mining privileges iv the Warden's Court. Recent rains, too, have made water available for sluicing purposes, and once more our miue3 are iv full work.
Hopeful reports are in circulation in reep^ct of the Glenrock and Westralia (Macetown), and better stone is expected to be struck shortly. ' The Sunrice Company, Advance Peak, havo succeeded in cleaning out the old low level and securely timbering it. The face of the old workings was reached, and about five tons of stone broken out, which wa3 packed down to the Glenrock battery to be tested as occasion offers. Severe and broken weather having set in, making it inadvisable for the mea to atop at an elevation of 5,7000 ft above sea level without making special piepaiatiou, it was deemed preferable to temporarily stop work.
