CURE.
Since my last report the cross-cut towards the No. 2 lode has been completed, and the arduous work of rising on that reef (not the No. 6 lode) has been started, though as yet little headway has been made. The rise is at present on the foot? wall but is going through the reef, and the hanging-wfil will shortly be to hand, ti
the manager judges thattholodewiU net be more than 10 or 12 feet thick. The object of culling through the lode is to see which is the most,likely part to rise on, and if it would-be worth while lo carry it up the whole brcudth of the reef. Though no gold has been seen since rising was started, encouraging mineral indications are frequently met with. It is expectrd that the rise will strike the junction of the No. 5 reef, when it is expected the. No. 2 rcsf wilt make gold. The company's stoping operations in Gilmour's lender continue without change to mention. The lode continues to look as promising as ever, and there are about 70 ions broken out wh'.ch will bs crushed > next work, a good portion of it being already at Uio mil!. Syrnonds and party obtained 2ozs lOdwts from a crushing from the old mullock tip near the Golden Crown shaft.
