Ohinemuri Mining.

(PER WIRE—CORRESPONDSNT.)

KARANGAHAKE, ADBDjNBr-From the stope above tbe intermediate level, there is to hand about 30 tons of firnt-claas stone, which is now btiii!? bagged ready for transit to Railey's mill, where it will be treated provided satisfactory arrangements can be made for the same in the low leveis. The reef averages 18 inches in thickness, and the stone is all of good quality.

WAIHI, Union.—The reef where it was intersected in the crosscut driven from the Rosemoot low level, proved to be about three feet thick, gold permeating the whole mass. Id fact, a fair percentage of the stone shows strong colours of the precious metal, and the lode appears to improve in size and quality as work is advanced southwards, in which direction the level is" now being continued along its course,

Silverton, — Crushing operations for this mine are still in full swing at the Martha battery, wlnre cleaning up will take place early next week, by which time about 50 tons will have been treated, and the manager expects an all round return of about 2 ounces per ton. Rosemont.—The lode encountered in tlie main adit level a few days since, varies *rom three to six inches in thickness and the manager is of opinion that it is not identical with the main lode, which he believes will be fonnd some distance further eastward, io which direction the iode will very soon be advanced so as to solve the question of its exact whereabouts.
