Thame3, Nov. 22, Saxon. — A parcel of 301b of picked stone was obtained yesterday afternoon from the ninth stope on the footwall reef. The lode is at present rather pinched, but the quartz shows strong colours of gold. There is no change to report from the other stopes. The trial crushing of 10 loads from the reef at No. 5 level has been finished for a yield equal to about lOdwt of gold per load, which is better than was expected, as no gold was seen in the quartz. There are 4600z of amalgam on hand as the result of the past weeks operations.' Prince Imperial. — There is very little change to report from this mine. The south crosscut in the western end at No. 2 level is penetrating a nice class of sandstone, and is now in about 20ft. Colours of gold are occasionally seen in the stopes on the hanging wall of No. 1 reef over No. 3 level. Waihi G.M.Co.— -It was expected that a preliminary trial of the Waihi G.M.Co.
