NEW WHAU.
The company's crushing at the Alburnia batbty has been running since yesterday morning, but a long-enough time has not elapsed to tell how it is going. The week's report of the mine manager says : —" Since my last* report stripping the reef has been continued i'rom the bottom of No. 1 winze io within 8 feet of the 160 feet level. The 160 feet level and leading stope has b m driven 50 feet west from the Alburnia boundary, but there has been no gold seen in it up to the present, although there is every indication. The reef that I am saving for crushing is about three feet thick, and is heavily charged with a good class of minerals. I am forwarding this quartz through our own new pass, and I will have the Sons of Freedom hopper full by the timp our own hoppers are emptied at the Whau level. This will be a goci opportunity for t?sting this stuff by itself. Crushing will be commenced to-day. The second pass in the Sons of Freedom winze wili be completed on Monday next. By the end of the week stoping wiU be fa'rly commenced."
