It is heavily charged with minerals, but wo do not see any gold. A rise has been started.toj'couuect with the winze being sunk from 70ft level, which is now up about 10ft. In the last break*
ing down we saw several nice colors of gold. Tbe reef is about 2-J-ft wide, and the stone similar to that in the winze above. 70ft lesel, east: This drive is being carried on by two men. Duiiug the last fortnight the reef has been broken up, but it is now much more compact, showing good minerals.
