There is no change of any importance to report from this mine, with the ex* ception that the works in progress at the 150ffc lovel, on the various lodes, con tinue to produco a good payablo grado ore. The drive upon tho footwall section of tho No 2 reef is turning out a good supply of crushing material, in which strong gold is occasionally seen, there is every chanco of an improvement setting in as tho level advances eastward. Tho drive upon tho No. 4 lead westward of the main crosscut is still penctratinga good channel of country. The lead is much the same in size, but shows gold very frequently, whilst occasionally a few pounds of picked stone are selected from amongst the general ore. At the 100 ft level the drive upon the Reuben Parr lode has been temporarily sus pended, and the men have been removed to the eastern drive upon _ the Golden Ago reef, where it is anticipated pros pects of a more encouraging character should bo met with, The workings in and about the Dawn of Hope No. 3 and Golden Age footwall loads are without change.
