The centre of rhe reef is a mass of conglomerate, quartz, flint, and sandstone, but no gold bae been seen. The total distance driven from the flatsheet is 722 feet. Kising Sun.—The tunnel fe In 1036 ft. The ground continues slow for ■working. Fiftyfeet have been driven in the hard bar. As n. rale, this class of country does not extend for more than 50 or 60 feet. The engine is working satisfactorily. Scotia. —The drive north on No. 1 lode was advanced seven feet. The country is mnch harder. The reef maintains its size, but does not prospect so well as previously. Mt.

Mountain Queen. —The drive on the Maori Dream reef is in country that is still improving, being a nice, firm class of andesite, interlaced with numerous mineral seams and flinties.

A tragedy was narrowly averted on board the barque County of Inverness while she was casting off Irom the Victoria wharf at Dunedin on the sth inst. The crew were busily intent on the hundred and one jobs that have to t>e done promptly and efficiently as a ship casts off. The officers were attentively supervising. From the forecastle a hulking Russian Finn slinked forth. His bloodshot eyes glared with the mania of alcohol, and a sheath-knife was so held as to bo scarcely discernible in his right hand. He was stealing up'behind an otherwise engaged officer of the ship, and the knife was 'being raised to strike, when the captain of the Plucky noticed the movement. With a rush he grappled the foreigner, and in the fierce struggle that ensued the knife was broken into three pieces, as its blade was warded off and stuck in the deck planks. An artist who was accompanying the Plucky in search of a seascape immediately flew to Captain Spence's assistance. With the aid of some others the drink-demented j sailor was disarmed. A stitch in time ' hid pavocl nine, and the incident only delayed the vessel a few minutes. j Tlie Public Works Department in this ! issue call-s for the supply of steel girders i for the Gisbornr-Rotorua railway. 1 Mr P. M. Konnin will lecture on "Red ' Sunday" in St. J.imes' Hall to-ni?ht, j describing' the history of Father Gapon, j the massacre at the Winter Palace, St. j I Petersburg J
