The following is a copy of the telegram sent by the manager to "Auckland to-day:— " Breaking down Feef new winze. Abundance of mineral and gold shows. .Reef split .by ' horse ' east end.", .:
■ Howe .and party have for the last few weeks' been accumulating a parcel of crushing-dirt amounting to 58 tons. This parcel had been crushed at the company's battery, and was completed to day for the handsome return of 84 ounces of retorted gold. Several weeks ago this, party obtained 36ozs Bdwis from a parcel of picked stone which was obtained while accumulating the parcel of general dirt, the ciushing of which was finished to-day, so that it really belongs to the same parcel, and makes the total yield of the parcel 120czs Bdwts gold.
