Tlic Great Northern bad a itduecKi output, but
(be return showed a marked improvement on the
previous vield. The tonnage included ,'10 loads
drawn from tlic oust leg of tho obi reef at 1SSD
feet, which gave tlic splendid yield of 3 2.V% o
of gold. . 'fhe .leg, which varies from 6 -to _ 18
Inches, with a height of fully 25 feet, is being
opened up south from the crosscut put out from
the lovel at a point SO) fuel north of the sliqft.
Tline in' a good extent of ground to be opened
up in this part of't'hc mine. The tmlqnce of the
week's milling (57 loads drawn from the small
east leg being operated on from (he 1000 feet
north level) gave the imynble relurn of 20 oz. of
gold. Tho company's shurea changed luqnls at
ti / 1 V£s . 'The South Nuw Moon return, ithough
payable — averaging about fi dwt. per load for trie
week's output of -ffiO loads— was not as gQorl as
the previous yield. Small threads of quartr. tra-,
versing slate are being mot with in the rise o\t?r
the 580 foot level, and there is about 20 feet of
country -to pass through in order to connect with
the workings- on the east back lie-low the 440 feet
intermediate level, 400 feet south of the 'main
crosscut. They aie still breaking out crushing
material, pf poor quality in tbu workings aj 1000
nnd 1140 feet levels, whjie payable ore is being
opera tor i on in tpe Mopes over tlic DSG feet level
south. There was inquiry for serin at 3(1/. — -At
the Xew Moon they lire 'still crushing low grade
ore, hut an improvement is expected shortly, Wjth
a view to testing the deeper ground, arrangements
have been completed for sinking another couple
of lifts of 100 feet each from the 2225 feet plat,
und in order thmt tiie work piny bo done as ex
peditiously us possible three shifts of men will

being obtained 'hi the reef in the level north at
1315 feet."
Johnson's Reef return averaged about SV5 (Ivsk.
per load for a milling of 183 loads. This irf
payable, hut shows a marked shrinkage compared
wiith irecent yield. During the week they have
been niullocking. ami timbering up the slope <en
the cap apd higher portion of the east leg of the
Coll maqn reef in the intermediate workings over
ftlic IfffiO foot north level. Consequently the
crushing material, had to be drawn from the lower
portion of the. formation, nnd hence tho falling
off in the return. Tim cap of the reef appears to
be risring oven more rapidly than before, although
the saddle apparently is continuing its usual
course. Operations are now lifting carried on in
lilic higher limits of the formation, where nice
gold is showing, and a much improved return is
expected when they clean up next Saturday.
"Bird's- Roof, by constant pumping,- appears to bo
now gradually gaining tlx? mastery over the heavy
influx of water which has caused a temporary
cessation of operations underground during tlic
liast few days. ft is regarded by Iclic manage
ment as a fortunate ciicitmMance that the old
workings have been tapped, us when they are un-
watered an inspection of the extensive quart/,
lodes that were worked with highly profitable re
sults in the early Iduys can be made, and a bet
ter opinion can then be formed with regard to
future operations. With that end in view tiie.
Old Albion shuft will be timbered and placed in
proper repair.
