Knowing people have nfi the remark that when the bottom of 11,„ winze was renched there would bo no '.niS found. On Thursday we found men o f_! ing out two intermediate levels at f ni. spot, consequently the smoke and dlri w coated over the face of the reef, £__£JS | hiding tin precious metal; but ou appfvin , water the gold was at once visible, anS fully justihed past reports. The rise ami winze are now fuUy connected and _7nS down a substantial ladder-way e S? ami shoot put in to the intermediate li>v*i j for trucking from.

BiSMAECic-The manager is ei)ga , driving a cross-cut from the Van level in southerly direction nearly opposite to t,» junction of the drive going in tothonlrf engine shaft. He has very good cou__v7 thing most unusual in this part of the V™ drive. ua

GKM.-Tlie tramway is completed to the face, where tlicy have a fine reef in l, nn i The country is of the best fel&ftg heavily charged with minerals. ■ .'• ,: KAPANGA. - Splendid specimens were obtained during the week Irom the storT, on Scotty's reef. The prospects of tIT. mine are becoming every week morcdernr mined. tr*

New Union B_Ac„.-Oper_ao__ were commenced on Monday last, the en_i__. f having started to overhaul the plant which requires various repairs. On Thursday tlit secretary installed the mine manager Mr Caretv, and in company with one of t_. directors made a thoiou«li inspection of-the entire property. They found the machinery m very fair order. The Tangj-e p Um p _* been received in good order. i

Kelso Freehold.-A low level is brine driven to out a fi«;-lookmg reef not vet tested. It is believed to be payable. Hope.—The tributers working No _ block have sunk the winze lho°requir_d distance, about 20 feet, and when the face of the low level now going in gets under neatli the winze a rise will be started and it is hoped that the block to be worked out will prove remuneiative.

Blue Peter.—The low level has been continued, but the leader does not show •any improvement, though ii is runni_ X i v good form. In the stopes from the low level a little picked stone has been obtained The manager reports there are several pro' mising leaders in tho ground worthy of _. trial. V a

Stanley.—This week rich stone has come out of the mine, and there is favour* able promise of the next crushing being highly remunerative. [.'JOlhs. of thespeci. mens alluded to above have since been crushed for a return of l.ozs. gold,] Home Rule. -The final retorting took place ou Thursday for a return of H7oZs of gold, making a total of 37Gozs. from the last crushing. There is yet a block of ground of about 50 feet to take out from the intermediate level, which is expected to crush well. The reef in the face of the low level shows a compact body of stone with two good walls. 'The face is yet 50 feet from where the shot of gold is expected to be cut. Though the stone coming out looks well no gold has yet been seen in it. Matawai.— Work ia now proceeding on the reef without any special change.^ ,_? Success.—The face is approaching the line of reef, and as water is beginning to flow freely the lode will probably be in hand before long. Blackmoee.—Operations are being car. ried on with spirit m various parts of this mine. In No. 2 level; driving on the Heme Rule reef shows that it is likely to con tinue its course in a westerly direction, so that the manager has commenced the main drive nor'-west from the bottom of winze, •and the same will be connected with the stopes this week. A fine body of stone is in hand in the stopes, and although no gold is showing in the stone the latter looks very promising, and may show a rich face any shift. Over 100 feet lias been driveu north on the Home Rule reef in No. 1 level, and a leading stopo has been carried along nearly 100 feet from the boundary. A great amount of important work known aa " dead work" is now com pleted, passes have been formed, shoots put m ready for stoping operations, and a variety of other necessary preliminaries attended to, which will enable future work to be dano in the most approved style. Stodart's.—Wages men are at work on the upper portion of the ground carrying on prospecting operations. The contractors on the lower ground are driving two cross outs, have a fine reef in hand, but have seen no gold. Home Rule.—The crushing was not finished in time for this report. • '
