NEW MORNING STAR.
The manager informs me that good progress is being made with the different operations at present in progress at the mine. A crosscut is being put in to intersect the Just-in-Time reef worked ao successfully by the Old Golden Calf tributers —Gill and party. The company has it going up in the slide where it should contain a £ood amount of gold. A cross-cut is also being put in to intersect the Nos. 3 and 4 reefs. Nothing of any importance has yet been done on the leader from which some days ago a small parcel of specimens were obtained, but operations on that are expected to commence shortly. This leader abuts on the slide, and it will doubtless return good profit when worked. Owing to the rery considerable amount of dead work being done it is necessary from the quantity of mullock broken out to wiud two shifts iv the 24
hours. The low level. is not much troubled with water, the cross-cut from the Calf shaft having effectually tapped it. The amalgamated companies' drive being put in by the Morning Star, Golden Calf and other companies is making good pro* gross, but it will not be of any immediate benefit to this mine. It isp ut in for the future drainage of the two next levels.
