Because of a fracture of the bottom tumbler, the Ngahere dredge, near Blackball, has been idle for a week. The directors are making every endeavour to procure a bottom tumbler, to be used till the arrival of a new one from Australia.

The fault line being followed shows very little change from previous report. Stoping has been continued on same faces as last week, the width of reef remaining the same, 24 inches. During the week 25 tons were sent to the battery. The Okarito dredge return was 18oz for 125 hours' work. For the week ended April 26 the Clutha River dredge at Alexandra worked 117 hours for 350 z of gold.
