OUR GOLDFIELDS.
MINE MANAGERS' REPORTS,

The mineral indications are good, and the quartz is turning out well at the battory. A good supply of payablo quartz ia coming to hand from the second otope. The run of gold haa now been provod by tho winze from No. 5 stope to be dipping to the eastward, but is running exceedingly flat, consequently the drive at tho 70-foot level has not boeu advanced sufficiently far to meet its underlie. Gold is treoly seen in tho footwall branch at tho No. 7 stopo wosb, A few pounds of picked etone are occasionally saved. Tho amalgam on hand for the wook from berdans and pans is 6280z, the total amalgam on hand ],131oz, together with 901b of picked stone.
