CURE.
The genera! features of the workings have much improved within the last few days. The drive from the Caledonian shaft for the new level is in 100 feet in good working country. The winze going down on No. 5-reef is 42. feet deep, on good quartz, from which golden stoae.has been raised yesterday and this day, learing quartz on both sides of winze, indicating its size to increase, and that the Nos. 4 and 6 have junctioned at the present depth. The winze sinking on the footwall lode is down about ten feet, and. a few good samples of ore brought up, the reef rather increasing in size with the depth.. On the upper level on No 5, i.e., the same as the 100 feet level in the Manukau, the stone so far as has been broken out has improved upon the portion worked below, and promises well, as the whole of this lode is intact to the surface within the Cure limits, the height being over 200 feet. The crushing at the battery is also shaping satisfactorily.
