Thin oompany commenced crushing on Saturday, last with five stumps, the otoncwhich was passed through, tho batt,ory>for tho fivst two days being that obtained from the old lovo'l while prospecting, and previous to' tho- opening of tho present lower workings and known to bo of a pooi'or qu«lity. No extraordinary show- on tl|o plates was therefore anticipated 1 until this stone had been olearod fronv.tho lower part of tho paddack.. Tho apponranco off tho ploloa during the last two days shows a eon BicJorablo improvement, clearly indicating tl<o suporior quality of tho lower lovol stpno, a very small qnantiby of which has boonroduood. Tlio mino in now in exoollont working order, and tlio main level continues to onrry n very favournblo looking reef over two foot thick, From the numorous truck loads of quarts' that hnvo at times^corae uador my notico while visiting tho mine,, and. from tho very excellent show of gold in tho stone, it will certainly boa remarkably surprise ifjbdoosnofc fcurn out a highly salias factory, yiold.
