PIAKO.
The unsuccessful result of the low level operations so far in the" mind has determined the directors to let as, much of the mine on tribute as possible, and already there are ten sections let, viz., five in the Piako section, and five in the Bird in Hand. Six more sections of the mine have been laid off, and will be let to-morrow. A large portion of the Bird-in-Hand, though well opened up, is yet solid, and will pay well. In the meantime the number of hands working in the bottom level will be reduced, and the battery will be stopped this. week. Crushing will only be resumed when there is payable stuff to crush. The manager is about to let a contract for driving 300 feet towards the Vanguard section. Driving of the cross-cut to intersect the No. 1 lode is going ahead, but the lode is not yet to hand. The company's other operations are proceed* ing as usual.
