The: Wellington Stock Exchange haß rcoelvea tho following telegram from the secretary of tho Knranui Gold Mining Comp.i.ny :—"Have cut Hoss Reef, ono foot wide, ishowin; colours of yold." '- WAIHI EBEPS-GIGANTIO. ,'i'he following report has hoen supplied by thn Waihi Reefs-Gigantic Consolidation, Ltd.:—"A most important development has takon place lately in tho property. Work has b<on in hand for somo months past, extending tho main lewl Koine north. Whon a point was reached about 300 feet from s-haft, a crosscut was • thrown out for a (distance of 50 feet going west, and a hup> body of oro was met with, running north-east and south-west. Thiß new lodo hi!S just been penetrated, and measures «;■ feet in width, from hangins-wall to fooU-wall, and is impregnated with

silica and mineral, which aro tho host indications of good values, SoToral assay teats have bocu mado by tho manager, with tho result that payable values aro assured. Tho manager is convinced, after oarcful examination, that this lodo is tho famous Royal lodo, which is at present yielding such satisfactory results in tho adjoining mines. Tho country rock beyond tho footwall of lodo has been penetrated for somo distance and 6liowa nice mineral and quartz veins. This demonstrates conclusively that tho contour of tho- country, which has been proTcd to bo tho true dacite rock, reaches almost to the present e-urfaco in tho company's property. It is therefore the directors' intention to open out on this promising ore body east and west and later to extend the crosscut with tho object of intersecting other well-known lodes which are considered to bo extensions of the lodes worked in tho bit mines adjoining.
