The winding shaft at the Eoss United Gold Mining Company bottomed at a depth of 94 feet, with excellent prospects. The drainage of this shaft is perfect, and the company will commence to open up the ground immediately. The water balance for lifting purposes is completed, , and will be in position in a few days. The water was tapped in the company's tailrace on Saturday night, and.2o to 30heads of water are running into- the tail-race from the old workings. The ground was expected to be dry last evening. The Eoss No. 2 Company hare secured the services of Mr Porvis as mining manager. He was formerly underground manager for the United Company. A Tiffin-borer is on the ground and will be at work in a few days. Mr Purvis is confident of getting on the run of gold. He has been 17 • years mining on the Eoss Plat.
