' Since this claim was taken up by "the ' present shErehdlders, Goodwin and party, they have done a. considerable/amount of dead work in cleaning out the old Nelson drive., The slips from the hill side, hare covered; up the. mouth and there; are^ several.feet of water in the drive. 1 !It will take some days yet ere this water: can be got <>ut, and then sometimberingv railrlaying, etc., will have to be-done, as the former party took out every stick of timber in the drive. Once everything |is in working or ler, the shareholders in* I tend, to work a small leader on the slide^. This is full of mineral and very,- likely looking, while as there is a good wire jtramway from fie mine to the Oce'bunga. ! battery (Bitnie's) the stuff can be got down fo a 2s per ton and quartz worth's or 6dwts per ton will pay, providing that there is plenty of it. • ' " -' - ■•''>:'
