The lod& proves to-be seven feet in thickness froß»'ff| wall to wall, and is, I am pleased to say,|jj| in a well defined state. Samples hav.e||| been assayed from the hanging-wall ; side?;|l of the lode, but the value was poor at'tlffi that point. It will be seen that the body ia of Marge dimensions, and q» result I intend to sample it in sections both north and south of the level. By doing this I will be able to furnish with the true value of the ore. I can- .jq& only say that judging by the country4d'*'J| which the reef is encased I have reason to believe that good results shortly be obtained. ' ' --iB Volunteer.—The main crosscut in tmV.S section has been advanced eight feet dur- -:* ing the week, and the country remains j« just about as last reported* '' ''hM
