LUCK'S ALL.
The men driving the lower or No. 3 level have intersected what is known as the Big reef, so called in contradistinction to the numerous small lodes and leaders which form the chief sources of the quartz supply of the company. At the point of intersection the lode is three feet thick, and when it was broken into this morning in the presence of several of the directors, splendid blotches of gold were seen impregnating the stone, and about slbs of picked stone obtained. The reei has an excellent appearance, and the discovery of a reef of such dimensions with apparently payable gold in it, is by far the most important find yet made in the Luck's All, or in the whole of the upper Waiotahi for that part of the matter. The other workings of the mine are progressing satisfactorily, and altogether the prospects of the mine have improved wonderfully of late.
