THE NONPAREIL.
Progress is being made in this mine; the company are making efforts to bring their property again to the front. The manager, Mr Coutts, taking advantage of the Italian shaft (which is now part of the Nonpareil property) has driven in a level 60 feet lower than the Waiotahi adit, and is working b,ack under that level. The country is hard, and appears to be a bar of rock cutting off the reefs as well as holding the water back. " The men are in about 30 feet, and expect to be through the hard belt sbovtly, when 50 more feet driving wi'l bring them under the winze sunk some 20 feet, but which had to be left owing to the presence of water. When reached, this drive will afford means to stope out the whole of the stone known to exist' under fool; from the old working level, giving fully 65 feet of backs. ■ -
