GOLCONDA REPORT. The manager of the Golconda mine, Thames, reports: “During the week the following work has been carried out: The main drive is now 136 ft. from the shaft. No reef has yet been cut, but we passed through another break and the country is good. The crosscut into the hangingwall was advanced 6ft. We are still in quartz, and the reef is wider than the drive, but no footwall is showing; The quartz has a better appearance as we go towards the footwall.” THE DAWN OF HOPE. The manager of the Dawn of Hope mine, Thames, reports: “Driving was continued on . the hangingwall dropper of the Golden Age reef, the distance advanced being a further 4ft. The dropper now showing in the face is a formation some 18in. in width of mullock and leaders. The country encasing this formation is of a softer nature, and not of a good class, but as the drive advances we hope to meet with better country.” COROMANDEL ACTIVITIES. It is reported that most of the machinery has now been installed on the property of the Coromandel Gold Mines, Ltd. The work of erecting a winding engine is nearing completion. Further deepening of the shaft, which is already down 75ft., has been suspended pending the full erection of the plant. The company anticipates sinking the shaft ultimately to a depth of approximately 150 ft.
