In the north crosscut th© progress is 13 feet, and in southcast 10 feet, total 23 feet. We have now penetrated the north from shaft 287 feet, and B.E. 201 feet, both faces fhowing stronger country, the north especially. I look open the change as favourable, a 6 tho lode system may be found bordering on this dark solid country, which is streaked with small friable veins of quartz and mineral, and strong to blast.
