HOPEFUL.
The manager's report is aa follows : — The new l<*vel tunnel has been extended ?20 feet for the week, the distance driven since commencing the same by wages is 90 feet, averaging 22 feet 6 inches per week's"* As reported in mv last, the show . of mullock is continuing, but it is decreasing in "size, and a few more feet should bring the trco portions of reef together. If the ground keeps as it is, two more weeks should take the tunnel up to tbe junction of cross lode and reef. There are some nice mineral veins showing in the face of drive, and when the foot-wall portion of reef forms its junction with the hanging portion of tbe same, I should not be surprised to find payable gold any breaking down. In No. 2 level, the drive . on mundic rein has been driven 14 feet since commencing the same; about five feet more will intersect a leader if it holds through the country ; the ground is very . tight. From the top of No. 1 rise lam carrying a stope to intersect the two leaders from which I obtained such good gold in the drive.
