Tho manager of the Walhi Boefa-eieantlo Oonsolidation, Mmitod, reports as follows: under dato April 17:—"Wo hkve penetrated tho now reef 30 feet; the quartz shown moro dark mineral and ia well defined. Aesay testa at M feet' ehow improving valuos, tho duartz ie free from any imillocky foravitionß. fl-nd ia certainly a finelookins reof-body. The uroportion of gold t silver In the assay tcata is high, and wo have not up to the preeont been in a position to have a thorough sampline of the reef throughout, the quartz beinc of such extent that regular and , exhaustive sampling needs to bo undertaken in order to get the true values of the icet as a whole. It ie satisfactory' to know that every eample taken so fax has given values, and these are taken only at intervale. The quartz brokon from other parts of tho reef may bo of much higher grade. I am, therefore, stacking all quartz broken in readiness for sampling as soon as we are in a> position to make regular daily tests. In tho meantime we are cross-outtine -west through the reof, and the laet test talen _ -an improvement on previous ones."
