SOUTHERN CROSS.
Work is being carried on the s topes on the specimen leader at Battery level, and a little picked stone is now and then obtained, but not much gold is showing. The manager has started to drive on the eastern side of the winze, and has got in seven feet.- The two leaders in this drive are now much closer together, and a good deal of mineral has been seen in them the last few days, but very, little gold. , A rise has been taken up from the. Battery level upon the No. 4 leader, which greatly facilitates the passage of the quartz from the small block of stopes^upon it at the tramway level. The manager has received instructions to visit the 400 feet level in the Big Pump and see what part of the workings are within the company's boundary, and report as to the best place to commence work on the reef.
