CURE.
The manager, Mir Crawford, expects to be able to start crushing next week on quartz from the winze on the No. 6 reef and from the drive on the No. 4 or black lode. The two drives at the foot of the winze are still going ahead, but aa yet there is no sign- of either of the cross leaders. The reef continues to look well. The.manaeerhas lately started anew work, it being a winze from the Crown level to the No. 1 level of the Caledonian shaft on the No. 6 reef. The distance between these levels is 90 feet, which will afford good long backs, and the block extends to the Manukiu boundary. .The lode varies in size from about 9ins. up to two feet, and looks very well, there having been some stones showing gold broken out, while there are some colors visible in. the reef. S toping in the No. 4 lode has been discontinued temporarily to enable the men employed to put down the winze on the No. 5. Work will shortly bo resumed in it, «nd the stoppage is by no means caused by any deleterious change in the reef.
