DEEP LEVEL CROSS.

The drive on No.. 3 reef 'at. tbe Saxon No. 5 level has lately been turned'some--what to the right, so as to meet with No. 6 (as the crossleader driven on at the Im* perial No. 5 level is designated) quicker. Quartz is now showing in the face, and if ; it proves to be tbe lode he is in search of/ the manager will at once start linking to connect with the workings below. Thig would give" the ventilation necessary. to, — enable him to start stoping; about 40ft. :., would have to be sunk. Driving on the \ No. 2 reef seaward is still in progress.itThis lead has now been driven on nearly^* 100 ft. from the Saxon boundary. It h»s been of small size, about 6 incheip bat has shown colors of gold all along, and the country now being passed through is of a much more favorable class than when operations were commenced.
