OUR MINES.
MOANATAIKI. _^ The manager's report for the week isF~ as follows:—"Tunnel level south cross* cvt —There are quartz stringers on a broken up leader now in the face, but no change ..otherwise. Waitemata crosscut. —Seaward side of slide: A contract to drive 2QO feet has been let at 12s per foot, and good progress is being made. In view of the extension of this crosscut the company hare acquired the Nonpareil United Company's mine, A few years since this mine paid handsome dividends, being worked ns deep as could be without pumping machinery. The crosscut abore > referred to will drain all the company's ground in this direction, and also giro an outlet for quartz from tunnel to the bottom of the Nonpareil shaft. There are 153 feet of backs and I do not hesitate to say rich deposits of gold will be met with both in this and Waitemata section. No time will be lost in pushing forward the work so as to develop the company's resources in this direction. Point Russell section.—The reef being driven on at the creek level is now opening out again. It is two feet thick, and*of promising ap. pearance. The stope in the bottom of this level west from the old winze pro« duced BOlbs good picked stone when breaking through to the level. Our crushing is showing up well. lam «3JC— ROUT. COMEE."
