QUARTZ MINING MEMORANDA.
BENDIGO. Lucknow Co. —Mr Colclough reports that he visited the Lucknow Company’s tunnel on Tuesday last. The rock continues extremely hard, but is of abetter quality for taking out. The work has proceeded about eight feet beyond the leader reported a week or two ago, and in view of more quickly striking the main reef, the direction of the tunnel has again been changed slightly to the right, so that it is now being driven at about right angles to the main reef. There is nothing to report in detail from the Cromwell or AufOra Companies. The Cromwell battery is partly employed crushing the same rich kind of stone which they have had lately, and partly on a poor lot which has been stacked at the mill for some time. The poor stuff is said to be mote than sufficient to pay all the working expenses, leaving the richer to pay the dividends. There will probably be a washing up this week. The surveyor is busy at the Reliance Company’s claim surveying ten acres, for which an application to lease will be heard and determined by the Warden on Thursday first.
