NEW WHAU.
Concerning this company's operations the manager reports as follows:—" £ have had two men cutting across the lode. They have driven seven feet, bat have not reached the hanging-wall, and by the appearance of the atone they will have to drive two or three feet further to get through the lode. No. 1 rise, at your eastern boundary, is up 45 feet from the intermediate level. I have opened out and driven twelve feet west from the top of the rise. The first six feet was through broken country, but in the last six feet there is a compact lode of 15 inches in thickness, showing bright mineral and good strong colours of gold, and has all the appearance, of improving as we drive on it.'
