CURE.

The month's operations have been successful, fully coming up to expectations, not only in the general stuff crushed, but in the return from* specim«nl^tfce three retortings of 3790zs Bdwts, 405 and 421 ounces, making'a total of 12050zs Bdwts retorted gold. A dividend is. looked for, and probably a succession of them, judging from the extensive manner in which the mine is now opened out, and the prospects obtained from the stone taken up from both winzes sunk to the depth for the new level, and which are now connected with a main working drive from No. 2 level of the Caledonian ghaft, enabling the manager, Mr Crawford, to proceed with driving both on the fool wall reef and No. 5 junctioned with No. 4, (and from the indications it is evident that the footwall reef will likewise unite with them at a short distance belg»w the new level floor), the present working stopes reaching from the Manukau to the Caledonian boundary will also afford large supplies of good crushing rock for a long time, and it is from thence that the bulk of the rich ore has been derived. Portion of the mine, known as the Mary Ann, lying to the south, has been let on tribute, and from the explorations of the tributers above the 100. feet level will enable cross cuts to be driven with certainty on to any portion of the country from the levels now connected with the Caledonian or winding shaft.
