ROSE, THISTLE AND SHAMROCK.
Owing to the shortening of tlie shoot of gold
in Hie , Shamrock reef at the 610 feet level tbq
directors of the Rose, Thistle .and Shamrock
G.M. Co. N.L., Jlarrietville, arc of opinion that
the expenditure that would be incurred in sink
ing the shaft to . a greater deptli would not
be justified. Ah the indications are that the
shoot would lie even shorter at the next level
and unpayable, they have decided to abandon
this part of Hie mine. The drive on tlie Rose
reef has been extended to 200. feet, and the
Hyncliue lias been reached, at which point" there
is 2 fuel of broken quartz and mixture. Unless
there is an improvement in the reef in tlie next
couple of weeks work upon the reef will ' be
stopped. In view of tlie profitable results for
merly obtained from the Land Tax reef, and
the probability of another shot of gold being
found by sinking the shaft another lOU'to 150
feet, the board has decided to -commence this
work, and it will be let. on contract. The funds
in hand, u call for December and probably
another .for January, will, it is considered, be
sutllcient to cover the expenditure.
