BEEFING REPORT
Heart of Oak.—A crushing of 212 tons for this Company was cleaned up on Tuesday last, and gave a yield of 267 ozs. 3 dwts.,— the average per ton being a little over 1 uz. 4 dwts. The manager states that “ the prospects of the mine seem to be improving, as the reef from which this crushing was taken could not be traced in the upper level, while at the present level (60 feet) about 80 feet has been driven along the reef, and it still appears te maintain its favourable character : in fact, the reef only £ made’ at the present level.”
Star of the East.— The United Company’s battery is now crushing stone from this mine, and it is confidently expected the result will show a decided improvement as compared with the previous crushing. Colleen Bawx,— The trial crushing of 22h tons from this claim was finished at the Elizabeth battery on Thursday last, and gave the very handsome return of 23 i ozs. The stone was taken from a depth of 47 feet. The manager is now working upwards from the drive, and there seems every probability, from the look of the stone, that the next crushing will prove still better than that above recorded.
