WAIHI GRAND JUNCTION. By Tekgwfk—Freas Ass*ciati»m. Auckland, Monday. The Waihi Grand Junction ( Company has cabled to London that the main crosscut, .north of the shaft in No. 6 level, cut the reef at about 125 feet in the Martha lode. A width of 120 inches gave a value, of 6s 6d, the next 120 inches 13s, then 150 inches 225. The face continues in ore. A Waihi telegram of Friday last gave the following report:—"The north crosscut is still being advanced in quartz at No. 6 level in the Grand Junction mine, and indications now point to its being the hanging wall section of the Martha reef. The quartz carries more or less value, but so far not of payable character. At the corresponding point on No. 5 level the Martha reef showed a total width of about (50ft., part of which was of milling grade. Should it maintain its width going down the crosscut at No. C level, it will continue in quartz for some distance before the footwall country is exposed, and it is thus possible that improved values will be met with on the footwall portion of the lode."
