WAIOTAHI.
The manager, Mr Smith, has lately opened out upon a small vein in the footwall, which has increased from 1 inch to 12. It consists of several small veins intermixed with the sandstone, but sufficiently gold bearing to warrant about 1 foot crushing dirt of a payable character. Driving on the course of. leaders near the old United shaft continues in the expectation of regaining the lodes that disappeared in that locality, as well as a means of tapping the shaft, and securing better ventilation. Five head stampers are crushing for the Company and ten are engaged upon Bed Queen stuff, which is showing up for an average yield, so that they can be kept going. It is in-' tended to. drive in from No. I level upon blocks left from former management. In view of these resources the idea of amalgamation with any of the adjoining properties is not likely to be entertained.
