THE CURE.
The manager has opened out on what he believes to be the main lode coming in from, the Manukau. The new drive has been started about thirty feet in from the main drive, and the lode opened out upon is about throe feet thick,' but has been driven on so short a distance that no stone has been broken down. There are several leaders in the immediate neighborhood of what I have hitherto called tho black leader, and if the whole of them were taken as crushing stuff, there would be about five feet of ifc. It has for some time been doubtful as to whether the black leader was really the Manukau reef, or an offshoot, the reef having seemingly split up near the Manukau boundar3 r, and not recovered itself at the point the Cure -workings have hit. The workings in both the Mannkau and Cure are nearing each other—it will be quite a relief to many persons when the mines connect their workings, as it will at once solve the question as to which is the Manukau lode in the Cure ground and which is not.
