NEW WHAU.
The weekly report of the mine manager is as follows:—" In furnishing you with my weekly report I beg to inform you of the nature of the work that has been done since I took charge. The main winze has been repaired, and a double line of skids has been laid. I hare also cut out a chamber at the bottom of this winze' for the purpose of slacking quartz. No. 1 winze on reef has been sunk 8 feet and timbered during the week. In this winze
there have been three shots put in on the run of gold, which has yielded about 800 pounds of specimens and pioked stuff with fully as good a show left in tlio bottom of the winze as wo have seen since we commenced sinking. The gold is showing the full length of the winze. lam taking down about three feet wide of the hanging wall portion of the reef, which is composed of first class quartz, and is heavily charged with minerals generally accompanying rich deposits of gold on this field. We appear, to be just.on the top of the-run of gold worked in the Alburnia 70 foot level. The gold is dipping westward at an angle of about 35 degrees, and everything is now in good working order.—Fbancis Daykin, manager."
