the following report, dated Credo, May 31 :—" The int-
provemcnt in the kale in the bottom of the 10 fathom
level south of shaft continues. The ore is worth 1 us.
6 dwta. per ton. We remit 26 oz. obtained from trials
made of the ore coming from this and various other points
in the mine by native mills. We are daily opening more
productive ground, consequently our projecteal machinery•
when put up, will be supplied with sufficient ore. Two
of the new mills will be in working order in the course of
next week, and will enable us to forward more important
returns of gold. The surface work for eight mere new
mills will be set on contract during next week, and the
road from the shaft to these millaundertaken at once. Alto-
gether this mine has wonderfully improved since our annual
report was made, and now bids fair to become one of the
best in this country."
