Tho specimen leader ami Sons of Free* dom reef in the i/iteriuediiite lercl arc still being worked with satisfactory results, but nothing calling for cuy especial notice has transpired there. Tbe reef in No. 3 winzo from Whau level (referred to above) is of good size, but appears to be patchy. However, purceln or specimens come from it occasionally, Tbe face of the east drive is now within 20 feet of tbe New North Devon boundary, and the reef is in by no means a satisfactory state, as it is badly defined ;, the slopes, however, are yielding well. Dizon's leader is four feet wide, and continues to show gold.
