The quantity of stone reduced by this Company's battery during lest month was about 25 tons, for an average yield of between 7 , and Bdwts ■per ton. The nature of this stone is such that it cannot receive justice from the present crushing plant, as the facitities for saving the gold are quite inadequate, and the presence of base minerals also renders . the task still more difficult. As a test it has been decided to treat fivetousof the quartz by burning it before crushing. The reef has been followed south with very little change for a distance of 85 feet. In the rise, which has been driven about 20. feet, gold-bearing stone has been got but a few days more work must be done be fore any definite particulars can be given.
