THE CURE.

Mr. Crawford, the manager of the above company, informs me that the contractors working in the Manukau level, in the Cure mine, have cut into a third leadei" in the drive, and have holed into the pre'sentor third leader met with about lfi 6in., bu| no show of gpld. It ia, he thinks, possible;that^he, jManukan gold bearing lode is at the' back of what he has, as yet met with. When I was last down the Manukau mine, the lode towards the Cure boundary was,.l thought, coming in, a, diagonal,l direction from the Cure into the Manukau, and strong enough to hold itis own from; the: latter claim, and it is more than? t> probable 1* :• that when the present! hungry quartz is broken through, the Manukau gold lode will be met with on the opposite wall. It is bard to tell shot from shot what the reef will turn out, but at present so*far- as therone fobt.six inches, of ston^ go)es ithere ii nio goldj'ih it that can be seen. A. very few days will depide whether the gold runs into the Cure from the^Manukau at the present working levels butt certainly the gold reef from the Manukau is near enough to warrant the opinion thatit will enter the former claim, but I think, with all due deference, from the pitch, of the; lode the Cure will get the reef 1 onl a higher levelr'than they are now. working on. :
