mine :—The sumpmen will now commence cutting
plot at the 196 East 'preparatory to sinking the
engine shaft. In the 196 East the lode containing
a little tin and the ground is speedy for driving, the
price being £6 per fathom. In the 196 west of
Petherick's shaft the lode is 4 feet wide, and worth
£5 per fathom. In the 183 West the lode is 3 feet
wide, and worth about £lO per fathom. In the
170 West the lode is 5 feet wide, and worth £2O per
fathom. In the 150 East of point of horse west
of Petherick's shaft the lode is 6 feet wide, and
worth £l5 per fathom. We shall commence cut-
ting plot at Pread's shaft and the 183, and when
this is down sink below. The winz3 under
the 183, at 30 fathoms west of Preades shaft, is now
down 3 fathoms, and the ground good for sinking
through, the price being £5 per fathom. The lode
in the north side of the 183, about 10 fathoms east
of Preade's shaft, is looking very well, and worth,
£35 per fathom ; the stopes in back of 183, east of
Preade's shaft, are worth £4O per fathom. In the
183 E. end we have commenced a rise against James
Wi nze, the lode being worth £35 per fathom.
James Winze has been sunk to within 4 fathoms of
the rise last named, and is worth at present £3O per
fathom. In the 170 E. the lode looks promising,
yielding mundic, spar, and tin. In the 120 E. the
lode continues to yield good stones of copper ore.
The pitches continue to yield the usual quantities
of tin."
