THE INVINCIBLE COMPANY.
(FROat A CORRESPONDENT.) Queenstown, September 19.
Tho Invincible Company have treated the 11| tons of pyrites yielding lOSoz lOdwt retorted gold. Their six additional berdans when erected are expected to take out of the tailings which hitherto wore lost, about 30oz retorted gold per week, in addition to the gold obtained by the company's ordinary process. The company, as a trial, let H£ tons of their tailings go through their 'one b^rdan, and got ISdwts retorted gold out of them. The company is driving in the machine site tunnel as well as in the lower lease prospecting tunnel, and in both the mine manager sees indications of being near the reef. The stone crushed at present is poor, but the mine manager reports that he expects soon again to come on the better stone which he knows is under him. He does not believe in picking the stone, but crushes as it comes from the reef. The six additional berdans will be in working order at the latest by October 31 next. Messrs Kiucaid, M'Queen, and Co. are the contractors.
