THE VANGUARD.
The shaft for this company is being rapidly sunk, the contractors being now down seventy-fire foot from the surface, or ninety-nine from the landing-plat. The country being sunk through is still good* but has taken a decided change, the shaftings being bigger dirt than at my last visit; the stuff sent up is also a little harder—still it is a kind country for & reef to live in. A leader has been cut in sinking, only a few inches thick, shewing no gold. That says nothing as to the value of the mine, other than being in its, favor. It had better by half attain the character of its neighboring WeioKaraka mines, and get gold deep in the ground, increasing in richness as the workings go down.
