NEW WHAU.
The manager reports as follows :— According to your instructions, I have stopped all works below the intermediate level. On the intermediate I have continued the drive with two men. It is now 100 feet from your eastern boundary. In the face there are two feet of stone; one foot of it well mineralised, which I am saving for crushing. In the stopes above the intermediate level the lode is four feet thick, snd appears to improve as we rise on it. From one to two feet of the stone is well mineralised, and when breaking down shows colors of gold. The small leader on the footwall of the lode, that Ifmentioned in my last report, is also improving as we go up, and showing good golden stone at every breaking down. I will start crushing when the hoppers and passes are full. They will hold from 35 to 40 loads of stone.
