Golden Bar No. i Company. 
The shaft at this mine has been sunk to a depth of 200 feet, and there 
is an east and west cross-cut at 180 feet from surface. The strata passed 
through dip to the west at angles varying from 30 deg. to 85 deg. 
Easterly, at a point 94 feet from the shaft, a lode track carrying numerous 
spurs is at present being driven on. Auriferous quartz is at times met 
■with, but verv' little has yet been proved. 
Robbie Burns Company. 
The only level surveyed in this mine was 333 feet from the 
surface. A northern drive, 240 feet in length, follows along a well-defined 
lode channel carrying a solid body of quartz, which varies in width from 
a thread up to 18 inches. This reef underlies to the east, while the 
country rock dips to the west. For about 20 feet on either side of the 
shaft, stopes have been carried overhead. The lode channel continued 
south from shaft, but was not payable until a shoot of gold was found 
south of the cross-cut. This: shoot of ^payable quartz was stoped above and 
Deiow the level. It appears to have been at the intersection of a narrow 
but rich west leg and the main reef. 
A cross-cut to the west, at a point 105 feet south of the shaft, passed 
through a bar of sandstone, which is over 100 feet in width and dips to 
the west at 43 degrees. 
Two hundred and forty feet south of the shaft, a cross-cut to the 
west from the drive on the west leg cut the main reef at 12 ft. 6 in. It 
is here 4 feet wide, and a rise is at present being put up. 
Jubilee Company. 
The shaft of this company is at present being sunk to work at greater 
depths the Jubilee line of reef, which was worked with reputed profitable 
results from the surface to the water-level. As the stopes of the former 
workings were accessible, an inspection was made. A length of 60 feet 
has been stoped at 40 feet from the surface, and the reef is vertical, and 
about 2 feet in width. At about 100 feet from the surface a fault threw 
the reef about 5 feet to the east, but a few feet lower down the reef was 
found again on its original course. At a depth of 160 feet, the reef 
widened out, and the stopes are here over 5 feet in width and about 
200 feet in length. 
At the southern end of these workings, another formation, consisting 
of numerous spurs between well-defined walls, and called Callougher's 
Reef, was worked to a depth of 200 feet. It varied from 3 to 5 feet in 
width, with a strike of‘ N. 12 deg. W., and a slight dip to the west. 
At the top* level in the main shaft, the shoot of stone could be seen 
pitching northwards, and a winze connecting with the lower level followed 
down on a well-defined wall with but little ore. 
At the lower level, there is a body of quartz 2 ft. 6 in. wide, and of 
nicely laminated appearance. As this is below water level, a sample was 
obtained for assay. The result was—gold, 10 grs. ; silver, 10 grs. per 
ton. The northern end of this reef was displaced by a fault.
