The manager reports: "During the week the reef in the. contractor's .drive has narrowed down to 2ft wide. There is not so much mineral in the stone, but it has every appearance of widen g out again. The country in both walls is a nice blocky sandstone. The reef in the crosscut outside of the winze is a bit niullocky in the face, it is about 2ft wide, with a-percentage of copper pyrites and galena in it." HAUHAKI ASSOCIATED. The manager reports: "During the past week the country jn the No. 3 level has been.very solid, making it bad for shooting; hence the headway made has been much slower, 7. feet having been driven for the week, leaving about another 7 feet before cutting the footwnll lead, from which close on £6500 worth of bullion has been won between the Nos. 1 and -2 levels. The distance between No, 2 and 3 levels iB 110 ft. A winze has been sunk 43ft below No, 2 level oar-
rjinggood rich ore the entire depth and the country in the face;. f the No 8 level is almost idonlicul in forms tion. It is, therefore, expected tha. the lead, when cut here, will be 01 rich as in the winze. In the stope, above the No. .3 level very good oiv continues to come to hand, and a fail show is still left standing." • • -
