NEW WHAU.
This mine was visited this morning. In the face of the drive at the 160 feet level the buck quartz in the footwall is cutting out and a better class of stone taking its place. The hanging wall section of the lode continues well mineralised, and I was informed that colors of gold were seen .last breaking down. Everything is now ready for a start at stoping which will be commenced on Monday next. Wo stuff was being sent down to-day owing to the caving in of the drive in the Alburnia leading to the pass to Sons of Freedom tunnel. The crushing is still shaping payably, and the manager expects to be sending down a better class of stone next week.
