NEW WHAU.
Crashing for this Company is proceeding at the Alburnia miU, and shows up fairly. I visited the mine today, and in the face of the drive found that the reef is from 3 to 4 feet thick, the hanging wall portion looking promising for gold. No quartz from this portion of the lode had been broken down this morning, and I did not see any gold. The foot wall portion of the reef has a more kindly appearance than heretofore. Owing to the hardness of the reef the progress made in the winze is not very rapid, and it will be a day or so before the manager will be able* to start stoping.' The lode is fairly mineralised and full of. vugs.
