WELCOME.
Saturday, January 10. This company has about two hundred tons of stono in the paddocks, which will give a yield of from two to three ounces per ton. The various workinga in the mine are progressing very satisfactorily. The No. 6, or Fiery Cross tunnel, has been extended for a distance of over 100 feet, about 200 feet remaining to be driven to the company's boundary. The stone in hand was taken out from workings situate over No. 4 level, and the block is the highest yet worked in the mine, and, tbereforo, no reliable idea can be formed as to its extent, but there is good reason to believe that the workings will develop an immense body of stone there. The extension of the main levels, and the work of connecting them by means of a shaft and thence by rail with the battery will probably occupy the manager during the next three months, by which time the mine will be in thorough working order, and splendid facilities will be available for getting out stone, the yield from which will, at all events, not be under that of any previous crushings from the same mine.
