NEW NORTH DEVON.
The crushing for this mine at the Moanatairi mill is shaping for a similar return to that obtained last crushing. At the mine* the main drive ii now 30 feet through the slide, and there are indications of the lode making again. Stoping is in progress some distance back from the face, and as there are indications of the lode improving upwards, it is the manager's intention to put up a rise. Should the quartz obtained come up to expectations.it is probable it will be
worked systematically from the Alburnia battery level. The reef where stoped on h composed of splendid looking quartz, and a little gold is seen occasionally in breaking down. Its thickness is from five to six feet, and the walls are becoming much better defined.
