Tj. Aiioha, this day. Colonist. —This Company is still sending down quartz from the upper workings, ana the crushing at tlie battery is very satisfactory. New Find.- I visited this mine yesterday, and am pleased to report that everything is shaping remarkably well. Tho distance, between the faces is now nearly 200 feet, and for tho whole of tin's distance payable quartz has been found. This long stretch of good gold-bearing stone may yet bo greatly extended, for in neither of the ends is there any indication of a falling off; ar._( as thero is a block about 130 feet in height to operate on overhead, some idea may from ; this be formed as to the duration of work in this portion of the mine alone. In the low I level the appearance of the lode in both faces is still very satisfactory, especially in the drive northward, where there is about! feet of quartz of good quality. Canadian.—The size of the lode has increased to 4ft., and sufficient stuff is being sent down to keep live head going at the battery. Diamond Gir.lv.—Tho reef in this mino is also increasing in size, being now 3ft, in width. No instructions havo yet been ro. ceived from the director*, to proceed with the low level.
