THE CRCESUS COMPANY, NENTHORN.
The legal Manager writes :— Uj**-to date about 110 tons of quartz have been reduced, and the apparent dilatoriness in the crushing is entirely due to breakages that have occurred in the water-race. The Company has experienced considerable difficulty with this race from the first day the water was put on at the head, but with the expenditure of a good deal of labour and trouble ft has now, so lam informed by the' battery Manager, been placed in good working order. With regard to the value of the reef, my correspondent on the field cays:— "The Crossus mine is looking well. The reef is from five to six feet wide, and carries good gold. The plates at the battery are also looking weli. There is a disposition among the working men at the mine and battery to speculate in shares."
