MOANATAIRI.
The No. 9 reef in west drive, ISO-fjet level, is hardly looking so well as usual, it now being bard rock and low grade stuff. It will be remembered that I reported some time ago that the manager intended to cross-cut the ct-unfry between the two slides—in fact repeat the expert* inent tried in the 80-feet level with payable results. A start has been made at "this work, 33 feet having been pat in in a southerly direction, but so far no lode has been struck, the only quartz met with having been small stringers and threads of stole. Though the led* should be to hard now it is not unlikely that it has taken a bend or e7en split up into stringers, and to prove this the drive will be put in some few feet further; In the slopes the show is not so encouraging as hitherto. The country in the tunnel has again become extremely hard, only 20 feet having been driven during the' past j week. Christie and party finished crushing at the company's mill today, for the yield of 16ozs 4dwts gold. Boyle and party and Peak and party, cleaned up and retorted to-day, for the respective returns of 20oza lldwts, and doss 3dwts goML
