THE UNA.
The contractors have cut into thoreef, which is broken up at the point of intersection, but a little gold was seen in one of the various lammas or veins. Probably when the reef is more thoroughly opened up it will assume a more defined character, and the existence of gold as stated above is a very encouraging feature. In the upper levels the same reef gave_ some excellent returns and always paid for working. Of the new level nothing can be said until it has been tried. To discuss probabilities with respect to gold mines is very often unwise, as the behaviour of the reefs is often eccentric^ both as to their coursS and goldbearing quality.
