MOANATAIRI.
There is no change at the battery, which is entirely occupied with the company's stuff and parcels from sereral company tributers. In the mine at the bottom level (218) the south cross-cut has been extended nearly 120 feet towards the No. 9 lode, which the manager hopes to intersect after another 50 feet has been driven. The 80 feet level atopes on ISo. 2 lode are producing a superior grade of crushing stuff, to which is due in a great measure the improvement in the crushing; and a few lbs of picked stone are occa. sionally obtained. In the Point Russell section timbering is now the order of the day, and all this week will be occupied completing this work. Next week a start will be made at driving east from a point about 100 feet below the Point ltussell bottom level. Work has been resumed in the tunnel, and it is intended after this has been extended some distance further towards the Golden Age section, to drive a cross-cut in a southerly direction, which will hare the effect of tapping the many
auriferous lodes discovered on the surface of the Golden Age.
