The tunnel is 2549 feet long, and will-tap the reef nearly a ICOO feet from' the surface. A small percentage of gold .has been got from the various trials attempted formely, bub hithertoi'ifc"has not been rich enough to pay expenses. However, the reef is of such enormous size, and the facilities of workiag are so good, that the manager .., calculates an average of Bdwts per ton will "' pay handsomely.
