Mining in the Upper Country.
, (fbom otjb own cobbespondbnts.) ,
WAITEKAUEI.
Butler and party hive cut the reef in their low level. This gives a block of 80 feet of good payable stone. Hollis and party are getting out a large amount of crashing dirt and will hare a crushing as soon as the wet weather sets in. Margen and party "are also getting out payable quartz. The Welcome tributers are still in a fix with the others working in that part of the district; the tramway at present is totally useless. A large amount of stone is ready for the: mill, but from present appearances it will be some time before it will- be crushed. The owners of» the mines ought to put their own shoulders to the wheel, and not expect too much, at the same time I think that a large amount of credit is due lo the men that bJlTftitutk to the district and spent their time and money in trying to develop it 3 mineral wealth.
