CITY OF LONDON.
The last fortnight has been short supplied, not more than 7 days crushing with 30 head of stampers being taken up. The yield has proved up to the average, 272 ounces being obtained from the retort. The incoming month may be expected to improve on the present, as the manager has now the advantage, of. a large goldbearing reef in hand on the bottom or 420 feet level, upon which the winze will shortly be complete, giving backs of upwards of 70 feet. From the 20-inch leader carried in from the chamber a short cross-cut has;intersected a: body 6T stone, which" 1 doubtless will prove the No. 3 and cross-reefs joined, and wTiich gave good returns on working in the upper level. A large quantity of stuff is still available for crushing on the 350 feet level.
