Since my last report, sent up when we were busy making new dams, races, pipe-lines, &c., with a view to supplementing the old supply. and with a better quality of water, for boiler pur-up poses, I have made three new dams of a capacity of about 170,000 gallons in all, to be supple- mented by additions of a further 45,000 gallons, -say, a total of 215,000 gallons.
The weather now is exceptionally dry. The water has given out, and we had to shut down just as we were starting to crush our best stone Samples of this (which you must bear in mind is limited in quantity) Mr. Grant is sending you by this mail. It is labelled by me, so it explains itself.
Owing to the water supply ceasing I am busy with additions and alterations to the battery, and my next intention is to call for tenders for driving and sinking in the Balmoral. Queen, and Grant mines; at present we are working only in the two first named. The Eureka is timbered
to the bottom of shaft and ready to sink, but this 5,000 work being special and new to our class of
miners requires my special attention at present I have my hands full setting the twenty stamps in new and proper order,

The prospects of your mines are still good and improving, which I hope a little later to prove by actual returns. I have not the slightest fear of this, but mines require time; they grow but slowly, especially when the future is kept well in view, and I myself study the future more than the present.
