"LIKE A JEWELLER'S SHOP."
Something like a jeweller's shop has been met with in the old Beaconsfield mine (Tasmania) states the Sydney "Bulletin.' The management saya "the shoot of stone at the 140 ft level has widened to 3ft, and is carrying coarse and flour gold up to lOOoz to the ton." The stone is in disturbed country, nnd the Beaconsfield crowd may have struck the missing leg of the western extension of the Tasmania lode. The old Tasmania mine, about half a mile away, produced over £3,000,000 worth of gold. In Brandy Creek, 250 yards below where the present formation was struck, large quantities of alluvial gold were won some years ago. A 10-ton parcel is being got out for • treatment.
