WELCOME EXTENDED.
The following report has been received from the mine manager:—" Waitekauri, December 4th, 1878. —To the directors of the Welcome Extended G.M.Co.—I have to inform yon (hat since my last communication the Welcome section has been let to Donnelly on the same terms as those upon which Thorburn worked it. He is a miner who is well acquainted with the ground, he having worked in it on wages during Messrs Lowe and Coutts' management. He seems pretty confident of getting payable stone, and, indeed, up to the present he has succeeded in taking out some which promises to be payable. The part of the ground which he intends trying will involve some time in proving,, as a good deal of dead work will have to be done. Hollis and party are still breaking out in the Young New Zealand. They have forwarded none to the mill as yet, but intend to do so in the course of next week. They showed me a few pieces of very good stone—indeed the best I have seen in the district. These they have obtained this week; but the lead from which they were derived being so small, the accumulation is also small.—l am, Ac, E. M. Cobbett."
