it becomes. No. 2 winze remains as good as last
month. The slopes in the back of the 10 and 20,
ru,th. of No. 1 shaft, and also the Big Bunch, are all
.213.1Qug the same as when last reported. We have
-Lams e d 273 tons of ore during the month,
fund made 35 tons 12 cwt of copper. No. 1
tl?aee has been out for the last fortnight, and been
entirelyWil rebuilt with fire bricks of our own make;
all ich will stand any fire. The three furnaces will b(
Lela full work next week, and my return of copp
co.'".rnonth will, I hope, be exceedingly good. Wo
rillug in fast, which well supplies three furnaces.'
