OUR MINES.
PINAFOKE.
A late report from the manager says :— On Saturday last I finished 1 a trial crush ing of 2 loads of quartz and 251b's of picked stone out of a small leader, at the Moanataiari battery, for the return of llozs 12dwts melted gold. It has uot turned out as well as I expected, but am in hopes that the next lot broken out from it will do better.' I have this morning started to repair the Gladstone level, which I think ought to be in working order by the end of the week. I intend starting to drire on a good looking body of stringers (about 2 feet) on the hangingwall of large reef. This body of quart? was cut at about 189 feet from mouth of tunnel and about 60 feet
from a lower level than: where I am afc present working. There never has been any work done on it or any of it crushed, so I cannot with any certainty offer ah opinion as to the value of the stuff, but if I should get anything payable here, I would have a large block of solid ground Overhead to take out.
