The drive at the low level having been carried forward under Lowe's old workings in the Robin Hood, the manager is cutting into the wall on 1 the right hand side of the drive to break down the reef. The drive has been following the hang- , ingwall of a small stringer, which was thought to be the wall of the main reef, but the big body is now found to be in the footwall. Two parties of tributers are working, and one of them, Moase and party, has crushed, two loadsof dirt from a leader in the Te Papa Gully for the good return of lOozs 14dwts gold.
